Vi Hybrid Prepaid Plan: Vi has introduced a Hybrid Prepaid Plan. This plan offers both domestic and international benefits. If you travel abroad frequently and are looking for a plan that can be used both within and outside India, this is an excellent option. It comes with a validity of 365 days—that is, a full year.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has launched a new hybrid prepaid pack. This prepaid pack from the telecom company will provide users with uninterrupted connectivity, both within India and abroad. This plan is priced at Rs 4,997. Vodafone Idea launched this hybrid pack following Airtel’s ‘Global IR’ pack. Notably, this plan offers users a validity of one year, along with data and several international benefits. Let’s look at the details.
Vi’s Hybrid Plan
Vi’s hybrid plan is priced at Rs 4,997. Under this plan, users receive 1.5GB of data per day for usage within India. Additionally, the plan comes with unlimited voice calling and 100 free SMS.
Benefits Available Outside India
For international usage, this pack includes 100 minutes of combined outgoing and incoming calls. This benefit applies to ‘Set 1’ countries, which comprises 59 nations. Meanwhile, for ‘Set 2’ countries (covering 65 nations), users receive 50 minutes of outgoing calls. Once the allotted minutes are exhausted, a charge of Rs 10 per minute applies to both outgoing and incoming calls.
Furthermore, this plan provides 5GB of international data in ‘Set 1’ countries and 1GB of data in ‘Set 2’ countries. During roaming, outgoing SMS are charged at Rs 15 per message. Specifically for the UAE, the international roaming benefits include 25 minutes of combined outgoing and incoming calls, though no data is included.
Who is this Pack Useful For?
This pack is highly useful for individuals who frequently travel outside India and are looking for a single plan that works seamlessly both within India and in other countries.
Emulating Airtel
It is worth noting that Vi launched this plan shortly after Airtel introduced its ‘Global IR’ packs. These plans are considered the first of their kind in the industry.
