A few days back, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved Bharti Airtel and Google's deal for $700 million. The actual deal between the companies was for $1 billion, but $300 million out of that was for forming multi-year agreements, and $700 million were for getting a 1.28% stake in the company.

On Thursday, Bharti Airtel said that in a meeting held between the 'Special Committee of Directors for Preferential Allotment' on July 14, 2022 – Google had been approved to receive 71,176,839 equity shares of face value Rs 5 each fully paid up on a preferential basis at an issue price of Rs 734 per equity share (including Rs 729 premium amount).

With Reliance Jio, you will be able to watch the third ODI together. You just need to download the JioTV app on your smartphone and log in. Once the match starts, start streaming it on your device. Once you do that, you will get to see a small circle kind of poster at the bottom of your screen which will say 'Watchparty'.

If you don't have the JioTV app already on your device, you can download it from the Google Play Store on Android and the App Store on iOS. Right now, there's no information around just what all live content can users see together on the JioTV app. But live cricket is surely one of them.

Vodafone Idea Bumps Up Data Benefits, Brings 4GB Daily Data Plan Back

Posted: 14 Jul 2022 06:44 PM PDT

Vodafone Idea

Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telco in the country, has brought back its 4GB daily data plan for the users. Earlier, the company used to run something called a double data offer which was discontinued at the time of tariff hikes in November 2021. But now, the company has silently bumped up the benefits of two prepaid plans. One of these plans will now come with 4GB of daily data. Here's everything you need to know.

The two plans which we are talking about come for Rs 409 and Rs 475. As mentioned above, the data benefits of these plans have been bumped up by Vodafone Idea. Both of these plans already offered a decent amount of data. But after the revision in benefits, the data bundled with these plans will rise further by 1GB per day. The development was first noted by 91Mobiles. Let's take a look at the complete benefits of these plans.

Vodafone Idea Rs 409 Prepaid Plan: Old vs New Benefits

Vodafone Idea's Rs 409 prepaid plan is geared by the company to suit people with heavy data needs. This plan carries a very short validity of 28 days. Users also get unlimited voice calling benefit along with 100 SMS/day. Then there are Hero Unlimited benefits such as Binge All Night, Weekend Data Rollover and Data Delights. There is also access to Vi Movies & TV VIP.

These benefits have not changed. What has changed is the data benefit. Earlier, this plan came with 2.5GB of daily data. But now, the data benefit has been bumped up by 1GB to 3.5GB of data per day. So basically, users are getting 28GB more data than earlier with this plan.

Vodafone Idea Rs 475 Prepaid Plan: Old vs New Benefits

Vodafone Idea's Rs 475 prepaid plan is also a great offer for customers with heavy data needs. Especially after the data bump to this plan, it becomes a super treat for the consumers. Vodafone Idea will offer users unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS/day and Hero Unlimited benefits with Vi Movies & TV VIP access to the customers with this plan. This plan also comes with a validity of 28 days.

However, the data will go up from 3GB per day to 4GB. This means that the total data offered with both these plans have increased by 28GB. This brings down the data cost of the plan significantly.

Thus, once again, Vodafone Idea has become the only operator in the industry to offer 4GB of daily data to the customers. However, both these plans come with a validity of 28 days. So, these are definitely not the ideal plans for consumers who are conscious of their budgets.
