Instead of poor internet speed and failed call issues, Jio anyhow manages to give its competitors a tough time. After Airtel, Vodafone is also feeling intense competition from Reliance Jio. Vodafone being second-largest telecom operator on Tuesday announced free 2GB data offer for its existing customers only in Mumbai to upgrade to a 4G SIM.
"All existing Vodafone customers who upgrade to Vodafone SuperNetTM 4G will enjoy 2GB of data free on 4G enabled smartphones. 4G SIMs are available at all Vodafone Stores, Vodafone Mini Stores and multi-brand outlets located across the mega polis," Vodafone said in a statement.
Reliance Jio promises to give its customers 4G net free for 1st three months, but it failed to fulfil its promises. But according to one report, Vodafone customer base is decreasing day by day, and customers moved to Reliance Jio.
Welcoming the government move to a less-cash economy, MD and CEO Sunil Sood said: "To ease the burden of the masses, we are waiving off all USSD charges presently levied for mobile banking till December 31."
He added: "As several million customers use feature phones, we are hopeful that this free access to mobile banking will encourage them to adopt it as their preferred and convenient mode for banking. Further, with Vodafone M-Pesa, we are leveraging the reach of mobile technology to drive financial inclusion and offer the convenience of a digital wallet for easy transactions."
“The free 2G data, however, is only for 10 days for prepaid customers while the postpaid customers can avail the benefit till their next billing date,” the company said. With this hopefully company able to retain it's few customers.
