Vodafone-idea Vi Discontinues Prepaid Plans With 1 Year of Disney+ Hotstar

Some of Vi's prepaid plans that included a Disney+ Hotstar subscription have been cancelled. Three packages that provided subscribers with a free year's subscription to Disney+ Hotstar have been delisted by the telecom provider. Vi's decision to end prepaid plans with Disney+ Hotstar subscriptions follows competitors Airtel and Jio's decision to do so as well.

Customers will be able to choose between a one-year Disney+Hotstar subscription and Rs 901 prepaid recharge or Rs 3,099 prepaid recharges under the new options. It has removed the Rs. 501 prepaid recharge option from its website, as well as the Rs 601 and Rs 701 prepaid recharge choices. The other two options that include an annual Disney+ Hotstar membership are now specified. The majority of the Disney+Hotstar subscription bundles were released in December.

Vi prepaid customers can now choose between two Vodafone prepaid plans that include unlimited voice calls, high-speed daily internet, and 100 SMS each day. Users who pay Rs. 901 for recharge will get 3GB of high-speed data every day. There's also an extra 48GB of data. They would also get unlimited calling and 100 SMS every day, with the recharge having a 70-day validity period.

The Rs. 3,099 prepaid recharges, on the other hand, includes 1.5GB of high-speed data each day, as well as unlimited phone calls and 100 SMS per day. Nonetheless, just like the Rs. 901 recharges, this prepaid recharge option includes a one-year Disney+ Hotstar membership.

Users who choose the above plans, however, will have access to Vi's weekend data rollover, data delight, and binge all night deals, as well as Vi movies and TV. Furthermore, Vi is not the only telecommunications company to drop Disney+ Hotstar prepaid contracts.

Reliance Jio recently withdrew the complimentary Disney+ Hotstar Mobile subscription from its Rs 499, Rs 666, Rs 888, and Rs 2,499 plans, joining Vi. Airtel also dropped three prepaid plans that included a complimentary Disney+ Hotstar subscription valued at Rs 398, Rs 499, and Rs 558.
