Jun. 22, 2018The Vodafone RED 399 pack earlier came with 20GB of monthly data, free and uncappedunlimited local and STD calling freeof any roaming charges. The benefits havenow been doubled to 40GB of 4G data. Unlike the previous RED-Basic 399 plan which did not include SMSes, you get100 texts per monthwith the new plan.
The Vodafone RED-Basic 499 pack, on the other hand, has been renamed to RED Entertainment+ and subscribers will receive75GB of data per monthinstead of 40GB as of earlier. Like the RED 399 (Entertainment) plan, you also get free and unlimited calling, along with free roaming.
With the RED 499 plan, the operator is alsooffering “RED Shield” protectionwhich covers theft and damage repairs. Usually, customers are required to pay Rs. 60 per month for the service, but Vodafone is bundling it along the package for free. To check if your handset is supported, you can SMS “DSS” to 199.
One caveat is that the existing postpaid customers using any of the two packs will not be automatically migrated to new plans, but requesting so is very easy and you can do it using theMy Vodafoneapp or by calling 198 or 121.
