Vodafone Idea bunches OTT subscriptions with its RedX monthly plans - learn more
But, there's a catch!
Recently, major telecom giants in India hiked the prices of all their prepaid plans by 10 to 25 percent. Airtel took the initiative of increasing the prices and was followed by Vi and Jio later on. After that, the telcos came up with some great offers for postpaid customers in the past that included free subscriptions to various OTT platforms available in India.
In a recent update, Vodafone Idea is offering yearly subscriptions for various streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus Hotstar, and Amazon Prime Video with its RedX premium postpaid plans. The starting price of the RedX plans is Rs 1,099. To get any of the RedX plans, you have to register for a lock-in period of six months.
