Managing multiple prepaid connections in a family can be easier when everyone can access useful benefits through a single platform. With the launch of its new Prepaid Family Plans, Vi is introducing a family-group feature that allows eligible prepaid users to connect their numbers, share data, and access family recharge discounts and exclusive offers. The initiative aims to make prepaid connectivity more convenient while helping families get greater value from their mobile connections.
What Are Vi Prepaid Family Plans?
Vi Prepaid Family is a new offering that allows eligible Vi prepaid customers across India to create a family group and invite other eligible Vi prepaid numbers to join. Each group can accommodate up to four members, including the person who creates it.
The customer who sets up the group becomes the primary member, while the people added to the group become secondary members. Once the group is created, eligible members can access benefits such as data sharing, recharge discounts, and other exclusive offers, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
Share Data with Family Members When Needed
One of the key highlights of Vi Prepaid Family is the ability to share available data between members of the same registered family group. This feature can be useful when one member needs additional data for browsing, messaging, or other online activities while another has data available to share.
Eligible members can transfer 500 MB of data per transaction directly through the Vi App. The feature comes with specific usage limits: data sharing is permitted once a day, up to twice a week, and four times in a calendar month. Transferred data remains valid until 11:59 PM on the day it is shared.
Enjoy Family Recharge Discounts and Exclusive Offers
Alongside data sharing, Vi Prepaid Family introduces family recharge discounts and other exclusive offers for eligible members. These benefits provide an additional reason for prepaid users to explore the new family-group feature and check the offers available to them.
Rather than managing every connection entirely separately, family members can access eligible benefits associated with their registered group. The availability and applicability of discounts and offers depend on the relevant eligibility criteria and terms and conditions.
How to Create a Vi Prepaid Family
Setting up a family group is straightforward through the Vi App. Eligible customers can follow these steps:
- Open the Vi App and tap the Family tab on the home page dashboard.
- Select the option to create a family and add family members.
- Choose a contact or manually enter an eligible Vi prepaid number.
- Complete OTP verification to add the member.
- View the family group and its members on the family dashboard.
The group can include up to four members in total. Members cannot leave the group for 90 days from the date they are added, and the primary member cannot be changed. If the primary member exits or deactivates their number, the family group is dissolved.
A More Convenient Prepaid Experience for Families
With Vi Prepaid Family, Vi is bringing together shared data, family recharge discounts and exclusive offers in one app-based experience. For eligible prepaid customers, the new offering creates an opportunity to make connectivity more flexible and convenient for the whole family. Checking the Vi App for available benefits and applicable conditions is the first step towards exploring this new family-focused prepaid experience.
