Unlimited 5G data: Vodafone Idea (VI) started its 5G services from Mumbai earlier this week. As a part of the rollout, the company announced that it would provide “unlimited 5G data” to its customers. A report claimed that VI is not giving unlimited 5G data to its prepaid and postpaid customers, as mentioned in its plans, and its range is 300GB. Users should note that this is a standard that telecom companies are following as most users miss reading fine prints. Let’s really mean unlimited data.
The use of 5G data is not unlimited
According to TRAI rules, more than 300GB of use is allegedly considered commercial, and therefore no telecom company gives “unlimited data” as they claim. TRAI has asked telecom companies to clearly explain this in their terms and conditions while advertising such data packs. Similarly, VI has also limited the 5G data limit to 300GB, saying “unlimited”. This 300GB 5G data comes with a validity period of 28 days. After data or validity ends, the network speed falls to 64kbps. Interestingly, Jio has claimed on its prepaid plan list that “there has been no restriction on your consumption by Jio.

Vodafone Idea is not a tactome operator who claims to give “unlimited 5G data” to customers. Both Jio and Airtel offer plans with unlimited 5G data.
