Vodafone Idea (Vi) has expanded its prepaid recharge plan portfolio in India with four new voice-only plans. Starting at Rs 179, these recharges offer unlimited voice calling and SMS benefits without any bundled mobile data.

The new voice-only Vi recharge plans come with validity periods ranging from 25 days to a calendar month. They also arrive shortly after Airtel introduced its own voice-only plans, following the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) directive to make such plans more accessible to subscribers.
