Vodafone has launched a new recharge pack worth Rs. 349 for its subscribers in an effort to take on rivals Jio and Airtel. Under the latest offer, Vodafone is offering 3GB of data per day to prepaid users. Recently, the telecom service provider had unveiled a recharge pack worth Rs. 569 that offered 3GB daily data as well. However, the key difference in these plans is the validity that they come with.

Local, STD, and roaming calls were also unlimited in this prepaid recharge plan and it came with a validity of 28 days.
