It appears the war on data and voice calling tariff raging among the major telecom service providers in India won't end anytime soon, much to the delight of the public. Vodafone has now come up with a new voice calling and data plan that may throw a big challenge to its rivals Reliance Jio, Airtel, Idea, and BSNL.

Vodafone has now launched Rs 69 SuperWeek plan offering unlimited voice calling to any network across the country (both local and STD) and 500MB of data. The plan has only one week validity but customers can make unlimited repeat purchases of the pack.
