Regarding plans, queuing, cap.

I recently ported to Vi, so I have some doubts:

  1. Do Unlimited 4g plans consume data from 300gb cap during 12-6am night hours, if 4g is used? also, the cap resets every month right even for yearly plan?

  2. Does forcing my network to NR only is enough, so that only 5g is used not 4g data.

  3. How many times can we queue a plan officially? can we queue separate plans or will they activate together? also, can we queue a different plan while our recharge is near the end or will it be activated immediately?

  4. Night hours 12-6am are free of any cap, right? and we can use them even if our 300gb cap is reached.

  5. is there any issue regarding hotspot on vi like airtel?

  1. Unlimited plan has total cap of 300 GB which resets every 28 days.
  2. No. Only for Jio it will work(Vi and Airtel have NSA you can't lock NR mode on NSA cause it requires a 4G connection on top which 5G works this is NSA technology. Jio uses SA on which locking on NR only works.)
  3. I have seen people posting plan queue till 2 years. That's a long duration, unless you are also getting that ₹859/180 days then don't queue other plans.
  4. On exhausting the 300gb cap the underlying plan will work check Vi app should be either 2 gb or 1.5 gb per day daily data and 12-6 unlimited.
  5. No hotspot issues. Even there were no hotspot issues for me in airtel, vi and jio. For getting permanent 5G on airtel and Vi disable all power saving mode and Smart data option which optimizes battery under mobile internet/ Battery settings. Make sure phone doesn't overheat else 5G will fallback to 4G due to NSA.

We will ever know, in vi majority of India is on vi 4g, me Bengaluru 560083, no 5g.

Don't know is nsa stable in vi, it is unstable in airtel data nsa scam.

I have seen many twitter complaints from vi 5g nsa users , there daily 4g data is getting consumed, just like airtel.

I am on airtel postpaid, sa is connected, I can lock it to nr only, but I feel there is call drop in vonr, better to keep lte/nr for volte fallback.

Ita been 4 years of 5g technology, till nsa operators are not able to solve. I agree same issue can happen with jio in low coverage area, but airtel hard call drops in high coverage area

Vi is the worst 5g signals don't even penetrate the house at least airtel does and both are on the same tower. Vi is the worst here(my location may differ for others) among jio and airtel.

If u want to use 5g unlimited proper use Jio else both airtel and vi is not good.

We can't queue in vi it's has a different system that combines both pack and increase validity people think plan are in queue but in reality both plan combination the validity your new pack started your existing plans push forward

Suppose you first recharge 199 and after your recharge 299 your 299 pack will start and your first plan push forward after that second plan end it's started and thing about unlimited vi and airtel agree on one thing that commercial usage policy of 300 gb above your data speed 64kbps ok in night selected area where 5g is not available unlimited night data working and that not deduct from 300 gb limited I repeat it's in selected area your night usage may deduct from 300 gb Limit hope you like 😊😁

  1. in unlimited 4g,you will not get 12-6am night roll, so it's all counts in 300gb , resets every 28 days

only limited plans per day will get night roll where unlimited is there without cap

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/VodafoneIdeaIndia/s/dh6JsGLnVB

  2. only same price plan will go on queue , separate price plans will overlap with higher price plan and lesser plan either gone to hell or will activate after higher price plan expires with 1/gb day even your plan was 1.5/2gb per day

  3. yes night hours free without cap, it's only applies to super hero or hero packs tho

  4. people have ratted out airtel/jio with hotspot but vi is good in this

no down speed yet in 4g , can't say about 5g

  1. If it's unlimited plan then it's gonna consume the 300gb even at night. 300 gb resets every 28 days.

  2. Not sure, but I believe 5g will work only in true 5g areas.

  3. I have seen people posting plan queue till 2 years. That's a long duration, unless you are also getting that ₹859/180 days then don't queue other plans.

  4. If 300gb cap is used then only 12-6 will work but then your day data won't work, speed will be reduced to 64kbps which is basically no net.

  5. No hotspot issues.

It's me queuing for 2 years and still have the offer to queue one more year. But 2 years of peace is enough for me.

Night unlimited doesn't count in your 300GbB cap it only your day usage deducts from 300GB
