After Airtel and Idea, Vodafone has now increased data benefits by upto 67 percent. This means for the same price, you can now get up to 67 percent more data.
“Customers can now enjoy up to 67% more benefits on their existing packs. This additional value will enable them to enjoy their mobile internet experience further by staying online longer and accessing more of their favorite content. It will also make the Internet more affordable for customers who use mobile internet in a limited way and encourage first time users to come online,” Vodafone said in a press release.
