Vodafone Idea (Vi) prepaid plan with free Netflix subscription: Details
Both users who already have an existing Netflix account and users who do not have a Netflix account are eligible for this subscription. Once the charging is complete, users need to open the Vi app and go to the subscription benefits page. After clicking on Netflix, users will be redirected to the Netflix app or website, where they can create a new account to be linked or link an existing account.
If a user is already subscribed to a Netflix subscription, the current subscription will be paused and the Vi subscription will automatically start when they link their account. However, if a user subscribed to Netflix through Apple, they must cancel their subscription first. Otherwise, Apple may still charge them.
Once the recharge plan expires, the user will be switched to the previously added payment method and their Netflix experience will not be interrupted. If they have not added another payment method, the account will be blocked. Users can then visit the Netflix account page to manually select a plan and add a payment method.
Apart from this offer, Netflix Basic plan is offered at the price of Rs. 199. It comes with a maximum video resolution of 720p and can be viewed on one home device at a time. This plan supports all devices including TVs, computers, smartphones and tablets. The plan also allows users to download content on a single device for offline viewing.
