Yesterday, Vodafone announced unlimited GPRS Plan for Kerala circle for just Rs. 95 per month wherein, as per Vodafone, a customer can browse unlimited GPRS for one complete month. Even we were excited about this plan as its from Vodafone and will definitely be genuine and must provide reliable speed too. But later this plan seemed to be duping its customers.
What’s the catch?
We came to know that, just like various Internet Service Providers (ISPs) unlimited plan, even this unlimited GPRS plan by Vodafone had a catch and the catch is, along with this plan there is a fair usage policy tied up which says that a customer will be charged for GPRS usage if his usage exceeds 50MB per month.
Is the plan really unlimited?
So its up to the users/customers to decide whether the plan is really unlimited or rather it should be called as a GPRS pack of Rs. 95 per 50 MB but we strictly believe that, Vodafone is simply fooling its customers by calling this 50 MB plan as “UNLIMITED”.

Yes! Vodafone is trying to fool the customers by false publicity. Everyone take note of this.
yes.vodafone is the most worst service provider.i used this plan for 2 months.after that i again recharged for 95.(i didn’t know the plan has changed.i just enjoyed.but next day i checked my balance,i wondered,it was -274.i just throne my sim to waste basket.i know the good service provider is airtel.
A flat lie by Vodaphone to the customers…..
Instead, get a cellphone with WiFi and use it in the college campus for time pass
airtel is the best service provider recharge 98 rs and get 2gb data for 1 month if u want to good speed in ur phone should be edge service then y get 15-25 KB downloading speed
The scheme mentioned here has been revised by Vodafone long back.
Now it offers 5 GB instead of 50 MB.
(voucher still says 50 MB although it gives 5 GB actually)
I have been using Vodafone Live on my mobile and netbook for past 2 months.
Hence 2 GB of Airtel is too less for that.
Wait!! Story is not over.
Out of 5 GB, I used 2.7 GB in the first month.
I recharged again on the very last day.
To my surprise I got usage of 2.3 + 5 = 7.3 GB! (Though my friend who recharged “after” last day of validity got only(?) 5 GB.
This is my third month of using Vodafone live and my balance is a mind boggling 8.1 GB with 23 days to go!
@Mohan,
As you can see, the post was published long back and the price and tariff have been revised after that! 🙂
