JAMMU, May 19: Vodafone India today formally unveiled its 3G roaming services in the J&K Circle by offering the facility to its customers in Srinagar, Ganderbal and Udhampur with immediate effect.
This announcement follows the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) ruling last week that 3G intra-circle (ICR) roaming services would be available once again.
Explaining the move, Asit Shekhar, Business Head, J&K, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, Vodafone India, said, “We, at Vodafone, want to accelerate mobile internet adoption through penetration, consumption and value addition. This announcement by TDSAT is a welcome step. We have now enhanced the data browsing experience of our Vodafone customers in J&K by providing them faster speeds. We are confident that this move will facilitate quicker adoption, better usage and a high-speed internet experience on the go.”
In addition to 3G roaming facilities for both its prepaid and postpaid customers, the J&K Circle of Vodafone is offering multiple packages to suit customer requirements, Shekhar said, adding the packages include data for handsets as well as internet devices.
Vodafone’s prepaid customers have six options to choose from. They can avail internet packages varying from 150 MB to 10GB in the price range of Rs 45 to Rs 1499. While the 150MB data plan comes with a validity of seven days, all the other internet packs are valid for 30 days.
The postpaid customers can choose from two unlimited data plans with a monthly rental of Rs 650 (3GB FUP) and Rs 850 (4 GB FUP). They can also opt for the 1.5 GB plan, which comes at a monthly rental of Rs 375.
