Vodafone Idea (Vi) on Wednesday unveiled new prepaid plans that offer free Netflix subscription. The telecommunications service provider bundles the free Netflix Basic plan with certain pre-paid surcharges for the duration of the plan. The plans will also offer the usual telecom benefits, including daily internet data balance, free unlimited calls and 100 free SMS per day. Namely, last year telecom operators Airtel and Jio also announced similar bundles of Netflix top-up plans for their subscribers.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) prepaid plan with free Netflix subscription: details
Both users who already have an existing Netflix account and those who are yet to create a Netflix account are eligible for this plan. Once the recharge is done, users will have to open the Vi app and go to the plan benefits page. After clicking on Netflix, users will be redirected to the Netflix app or website where they can create a new account to link or link an existing account.
In case the user is already subscribed to a Netflix plan, linking their account will pause their current subscription and automatically start the Vi plan. However, if the user subscribed to Netflix through Apple, they will need to cancel the subscription first. Otherwise, Apple might still charge them.
After the top-up plan expires, the user will be transferred to the previously added payment method and their Netflix experience will not be interrupted. If they don’t have any other payment methods added, the account will be put on hold. Users can then visit the Netflix account page to manually select a plan and add a payment method.
Apart from this offer, Netflix Basic plan is offered at Rs. 199. It comes with a maximum video resolution of 720p and can be viewed on one home device at a time. This plan supports all devices including TVs, computers, smartphones and tablets. The plan also allows users to download content on any device for offline viewing.
