Vodafone Idea (Vi) has announced a new prepaid family plan that allows subscribers to share mobile data with family members across different locations in India. Under the offering, up to four Vi prepaid subscribers can form a family group and transfer data between linked accounts. Marketed under the company’s “Vi Pe Sab Hain VIP” positioning, the plan also offers discounts of up to 10% on recharges made through the official Vi app.
Vi Prepaid Family Plan: Key Features
Data Sharing Between Family Members
The new plan allows active Vi prepaid subscribers to create a family group comprising one primary account holder and up to three secondary members.
Family members can be located in different cities or states, as the group is not restricted to a single telecom circle. Each member retains their existing prepaid plan and validity schedule while gaining the ability to transfer data to other members of the group.
According to Vi, members can transfer up to 500 MB of data per transaction to a linked subscriber running low on their data balance.
Commenting on the launch, Avneesh Khosla, Chief Marketing Officer, Vi, said, “At Vi, we believe the best innovations are often rooted in simple human truths. We believe the future of prepaid is not just about offering more data but about giving customers greater flexibility on how they use it. Vi Prepaid Family plan challenges the traditional approach to mobile plans in the segment and is a bold step towards making prepaid more relevant to the way people live, work and stay connected. This plan demonstrates our inclusivity stance, again, by ensuring families stay connected and share data whenever one of them needs it from anywhere in the country.”
Recharge Discounts Through the Vi App
Family group creation and data transfers are managed through the official Vi application. The company is also offering participating members discounts of up to 10% on recharges completed through the app.
The offering is designed to address data shortages among prepaid subscribers by enabling data transfers between linked accounts without requiring an immediate additional recharge.
To promote the new prepaid family plan, Vi has launched an advertising campaign featuring actor Shah Rukh Khan. The campaign highlights the ability of family members living in different cities and regions to share mobile data through the service.
The plan brings data-sharing functionality to Vi’s prepaid subscribers while allowing each member to retain an independent prepaid connection.
