Back in August 2026, Airtel discontinued its popular Rs 299 plan and quietly raised the price of its Rs 859 plan to Rs 899. Now, Vodafone Idea (Vi) has done the same, as the telecom operator has quietly hiked the price of its equivalent 84-day prepaid plan.
Vi 84-Day Prepaid Plan Hiked by Rs 40 in India
We searched for the Rs 859 plan on Vi's official website and found that it is no longer listed. However, in its place, there is now an Rs 899 plan with 84 days of validity.
That brings a hike of Rs 40, or a 5% increase in value. The hike was first spotted by Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) on X. However, there is no official statement from the telecom operator yet.

Vi Rs 899 Prepaid Plan Benefits and Features
While the Rs 859 plan has now become Rs 899, the good news is that the benefits stay the same. The plan still offers 1.5 GB to 2 GB of daily data, depending on your telecom circle. It also comes with unlimited calls and 100 SMS per day.
Here’s the full list of benefits:
- 1.5 GB to 2 GB per day (varies by circle)
- Unlimited calls
- 100 SMS per day
- Unlimited 5G
- Unlimited night data from 12 AM to 6 AM
- Weekend data rollover
- Up to 2 GB of backup data every month, claimed via the Vi App
- Vi Movies & TV access on mobile and smart TV
That said, if you are on Vi, this hike works out to under 50 paise more per day. Meanwhile, Vi has also been adding new features, like the Vi family data-sharing option for prepaid users, in an attempt to bring some more perks in the midst of tariff hikes.
