From Vodafone Idea (Vi)'s new brand identity featuring Shah Rukh Khan to free international roaming on select plans, the telecom operator has been adding new perks for its users. Now, the telecom operator is making prepaid plans more family-friendly with a new feature that lets users share data with family members across India, even if they live in different states.
Vi Prepaid Family Sharing: Benefits and Features
As per the official MyVi website, with family sharing, an eligible Vi prepaid user can create a family group with up to four members. The person who creates the group becomes the primary member and the other three are secondary members.
The unique aspect of this is that family members do not have to be in the same telecom circle. This means users can add members anywhere in India, from any state, as long as they have a working Vi SIM.
Moreover, each member keeps their own prepaid plan and validity. However, if someone is running low on data, another member can share 500 MB at a time with them through the Vi app. Group members can also get discounts of up to 10% when they recharge through the Vi app.
Vi has also launched an ad campaign featuring Shah Rukh Khan to promote the feature. Here is a rundown of the benefits and how they fare:
| Vi Prepaid Group Sharing | Details |
|---|---|
| Group size | Up to 4 members (1 primary + 3 secondary) |
| Eligibility | Active Vi prepaid users only |
| Data per share | 500 MB |
| Sharing limit | Once a day, twice a week, 4 times a month |
| Shared data validity | Until 11:59 PM on the same day |
| Works across circles | Yes |
| Recharge discount | Up to 10% via Vi app |
So, in case you are interested in adding your family as a prepaid group member, here are the steps you will need to follow:
- Open the Vi app on your phone.
- Tap the Family tab on the home dashboard.
- Select Create Family.
- Choose a contact or enter an eligible Vi prepaid number manually.
- Complete the OTP verification to add the member.
Once the group is set up, you can view members, share data and check recharge discounts from the same section in the Vi app.
Do remember that every member has to have an active Vi SIM and recharge for the feature to work. In case any of the added members become inactive, the group features will stop working. So head over to the MyVi app on Android and iOS to enjoy family benefits on prepaid plans.
