In an effort to compete with Reliance Jio and Airtel, Vodafone has now revamped its Rs 349 prepaid plan.

With the new plan, customers will now get an additional 500MB of data per day. Earlier, the plan would offer 2.5GB of 3G/4G data. This implies that customers will now get a total of 84GB of data for 28 days. Additionally, the plan also offers 100 free SMSes per day.

Recently, Vodafone told the Delhi High Court that it was not obligated to provide interconnectivity to Reliance Jio when it started operations in September 2016, as initially it was providing only test services.

The submission by Vodafone was made before Justice Rajiv Shakdher during the hearing of the company's plea challenging telecom regulator TRAI's recommendation to the Centre to impose Rs 1,050 crore penalty on it for not giving interconnectivity to Jio. Vodafone also moved an application seeking to place on record some documents it had obtained through the Right to Information Act as well as seeking from TRAI details of the test services run by Jio in the initial months after its launch.

The court, thereafter, issued notice to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and sought its response by September 5 on Vodafone's application. It also issued notice on Reliance Jio's application to be made a party in the case. Meanwhile, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) told the court that it has heard all the service providers and would take a decision in three to four months on TRAI's recommendation.
