Vodafone India launches new RED plans with unlimited roaming, voice calls

-


Even before Reliance Jio Infocomm’s 4G services officially arrives in India, other  carriers in the country are already getting the jitters. Less than a fortnight after India’s No. 1 carrier, Bharti Airtel, launched free and unlimited voice calls for its top revenue generating customers, the country’s second largest carrier, Vodafone India, is now offering two new packs for its high-value postpaid subscribers.



Back in 2015, the company had launched its RED postpaid plans that allows users to share limited data and calling minutes with up to five members at a small additional cost. After the data quota in these plans is over, users are charged Rs.0.50 ($0.007) per MB for additional data usage.

Now, Vodafone India has launched new RED plans for its postpaid customers, including a Rs 1,999 (~$30) plan with unlimited roaming, unlimited voice calling, and 8 GB data, and a Rs 1,699 (~$26) plan with free roaming (incoming calls only), unlimited voice calling, and 6 GB data.

Vodafone India has also launched new entry-level RED postpaid plans priced at Rs 499 (~$8), Rs 699 (~$11), and Rs 999 (~$15) offering 700 minutes, 1000 minutes, and 2000 minutes of voice calls, bundled with 1 GB, 2 GB, and 3 GB of 3G/4G data, respectively.

The move comes in the wake of Vodafone India’s slower data revenue growth in the April-June quarter, and Jio’s 4G expected to arrive with free voice services bundled with data at 25% lower prices than what is being currently charged by the country’s top carriers.

After Jio’s commercial launch, the Indian telecom market is expected to witness a massive disruption in data and voice pricing, which ultimately stands to benefit the consumers. It looks like the bloodbath has started already though, and more cuts are likely, as Indian carriers slug it out to retain their existing customers as well as add new ones.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”.
