Vi Rs. 451 Plan

The Rs. 451 plan offered by Vi, dubbed Vi Max 451, is its most affordable option for postpaid users. It offers similar benefits to Airtel's Rs. 449 plan, including unlimited voice calls and 50GB of data. However, the telecom provider previously confirmed to Gadgets 360 that it is yet to introduce commercial 5G services in India, meaning that you will only be able to experience 4G network speeds.

Among the three, Vi offers the most choices when it comes to value-added services, although consumers can only select one. It provides options such as Vi Movies & TV, Disney+ Hotstar, Sony LIV, Sun NXT, EaseMyTrip, and Norton.
