Vi Recharge Plan 2026: Complete List of All Prepaid Plans
So here’s what happened to me last month. My Vi number — which I’ve been using as a secondary SIM for years — was about to expire. I went to the Vi website to recharge, and honestly, I felt overwhelmed. There were so many plans staring at me — unlimited plans, data-only packs, calling-only plans, yearly plans. I had no idea which one was worth my money.
Sound familiar?
If you’re a Vi user in India and you’ve ever felt confused looking at the endless Vi recharge plan list, you’re not alone. I spent a good two hours researching every plan category, and in this post, I’m going to break it all down for you — clearly, honestly, without any fluff. Whether you need a Vi recharge plan loaded with data, one that’s purely for calling, or something long-term, I’ve got you covered.

My Personal Experience with Vi Recharge Plans
Let me be real with you — I was a die-hard Jio user for years. I switched to Vi as a secondary SIM only because my office building in Pune had poor Jio coverage but great Vi signal. That’s how most of us end up with Vi, right?
When I first tried to pick a plan, I made a classic mistake: I went straight for the cheapest unlimited plan at ₹179 and assumed it would be fine. And it was — for the first 20 days. Then I realized I’d burned through my 2GB total data allocation by day 12, and for the remaining 16 days, I was stuck at painfully slow speeds.
That’s when I learned the golden rule: don’t judge a Vi plan only by the price — check the daily data limit first. The ₹179 plan gives you just 2GB total data for 28 days, not per day. Big difference!
After that experience, I moved to the ₹299 plan, which gives 1.5GB per day for 28 days. Much better for my actual usage. Now I also keep an eye on the “Weekend Data Rollover” feature — unused weekday data rolls over to weekends, which is genuinely useful if you binge-watch shows on Saturdays.

Vi Recharge Plan List: All Categories Explained
1. Vi Unlimited Prepaid Plans (Most Popular)
These are the plans most people search for when they say “Vi recharge plan.” They include unlimited voice calls, daily SMS, and a set daily data quota.
| Plan Price | Daily Data | Validity | SMS | Extra Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹179 | 2GB total | 28 days | 300 SMS | Unlimited calls |
| ₹269 | 1GB/day | 28 days | 100 SMS/day | Unlimited calls, Hero Unlimited |
| ₹299 | 1.5GB/day | 28 days | 100 SMS/day | Unlimited calls, Hero Unlimited |
| ₹359 | 1.5GB/day | 31 days | 100 SMS/day | National roaming, OTT access |
| ₹479 | 1.5GB/day | 56 days | 100 SMS/day | Vi Movies & TV, Hero Unlimited |
| ₹539 | 2GB/day | 56 days | 100 SMS/day | Data Rollover, Night Binge data |
My recommendation: If you use your phone moderately — browsing, WhatsApp, some YouTube — the ₹299 plan is the sweet spot. For heavy users who stream a lot, ₹539 for 56 days is genuinely good value.
2. Vi Recharge Plan — Data Only Packs
These are add-on packs, not standalone plans. You use them to boost your data when your daily quota runs out.
| Pack Price | Data Included | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₹19 | 1GB | 24 hours |
| ₹48 | 2GB | 1 day |
| ₹58 | 3GB | 1 day |
| ₹98 | 5GB | 5 days |
| ₹118 | 10GB | 10 days |
| ₹298 | 15GB | 30 days |
| ₹418 | 25GB | 30 days |
| ₹601 | 50GB | 30 days |
The ₹19 pack is genuinely a lifesaver. I’ve used it at least 4-5 times when I’ve run out of data and needed to send a quick email. It’s not a primary plan — think of it as an emergency data parachute.
3. Vi Recharge Plan — Only Calling
A lot of people in India — especially those who use WhatsApp on their main SIM — just want a secondary number for calls without expensive data. Vi still offers calling-focused plans.
| Plan Price | Talktime / Benefit | Validity | Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹99 | Talktime balance | 28 days | Minimal/none |
| ₹179 | Unlimited calls | 28 days | 2GB total |
| ₹198 | Talktime balance | 28 days | No data |
| ₹204 | Talktime balance | 28 days | No data |
If you truly just want a calling plan with no data, the ₹198 or ₹204 plans are your cleanest options. They give you talktime balance to make calls without any data bundled in, keeping the cost lean.
Important note: Vi doesn’t push purely-calling plans prominently on their website anymore. You may need to scroll or check the “Talk Time” section on the myvi.in prepaid plans page to find these.
4. Vi OTT Bundle Plans (Entertainment + Data)
This is where Vi pulls ahead of some competitors. If you love streaming, these plans can save you money by bundling OTT subscriptions.
| Plan Price | Daily Data | Validity | OTT Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹479 | 1.5GB/day | 56 days | Vi Movies & TV |
| ₹539 | 2GB/day | 56 days | Vi Movies & TV |
| ₹719 | 2GB/day | 84 days | Disney+ Hotstar Mobile |
| ₹839 | 2GB/day | 84 days | Disney+ Hotstar + Netflix Basic |
The ₹839 plan is a personal favourite for people who don’t want to pay separately for Netflix and Hotstar. If you calculate the cost, it works out cheaper than buying those subscriptions individually while also paying for a regular plan.
5. Vi Long Validity / Annual Plans
These are perfect if you just want to keep a SIM active for 365 days — no monthly recharge headache.

| Plan Price | Daily Data | Validity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹1,999 | 24GB total | 365 days | Best for SIM activity |
| ₹3,499 | 1.5GB/day | 365 days | Unlimited calls |
| ₹3,599 | 2GB/day | 365 days | Vi Hero Unlimited benefits |
| ₹3,699 | 2GB/day | 365 days | Disney+ Hotstar Mobile + 50GB bonus |
| ₹3,799 | 2GB/day | 365 days | 50GB bonus data + all Hero Unlimited perks |
The ₹1,999 plan is the cheapest annual recharge from Vi. Ideal if you have a secondary Vi number you rarely use but want to keep active. If you’re a power user on Vi as your main SIM, the ₹3,699 plan with Hotstar is worth every rupee.
What is Vi Hero Unlimited?
You’ll see this term on a lot of Vi plans. Here’s what it includes:
- Binge All Night: Free unlimited data from 12 AM to 6 AM
- Weekend Data Rollover: Unused weekday data carries over to Saturday and Sunday
- Data Delights: Up to 2GB of backup data per month if you exhaust your daily quota
- Vi Movies & TV: Access to Vi’s streaming platform
Not all plans include all these features. Plans priced ₹269 and above generally offer the full Hero Unlimited package.
tical Solutions
Problem 1: “My Vi data runs out too fast” This is almost always because users pick a plan based on price, not daily data. The ₹179 plan gives 2GB for 28 days — that’s less than 100MB a day. If you use YouTube even 15 minutes daily, that’s gone. Switch to ₹269 (1GB/day) or ₹299 (1.5GB/day). Use the free 12 AM–6 AM Binge All Night data for heavy downloads.
Problem 2: “Vi plans seem expensive compared to Jio” Fair. Vi did increase prices in 2024. But the Hero Unlimited benefits — especially Data Rollover and Night Data — do add real value if you actively use them. Calculate your actual monthly cost including any OTT subscriptions you pay separately. Often, an OTT bundle plan from Vi works out cheaper overall.
Problem 3: “I can’t find a pure calling plan on Vi’s website” Vi has quietly pushed these to the background. Go to myvi.in → Prepaid → Recharge → scroll to “Talk Time” or “Validity” section. You’ll find talktime top-up options there. Alternatively, check third-party recharge platforms like Paytm or the Vi app where these are sometimes more visible.
Problem 4: “My Vi number got deactivated even though I recharged” This usually happens with low-value recharges that provide talktime but not full “incoming call validity” extension. Always check the validity extension when choosing a plan — especially for infrequently used SIMs. The ₹1,999 annual plan is the safest choice for keeping a secondary SIM alive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Which Vi recharge plan is best for daily use?
For most Indian users, the ₹299 plan (1.5GB/day, 28 days, unlimited calls) is the best all-rounder. It offers enough daily data for social media, YouTube, WhatsApp, and maps without breaking the bank.
Q2: Does Vi have a plan with only calling and no data?
Yes. The ₹198 and ₹204 plans from Vi offer talktime balance with no data included, making them pure calling plans. They’re harder to find on the official site — check the “Talk Time” section or use the Vi app.
Q3: Which Vi plan includes Netflix?
The ₹839 Vi recharge plan includes both Disney+ Hotstar Mobile and Netflix Basic subscription along with 2GB/day data for 84 days validity. It’s one of Vi’s premium bundle plans.
Q4: How can I check my Vi data balance?
Dial *199# or open the Vi app and check the “My Balance” section. You can also send an SMS with “DATA BAL” to 199 to check your remaining data.
Q5: Is Vi available for 5G?
Vi has been rolling out 5G in select Indian cities. However, as of early 2026, coverage is still limited compared to Jio and Airtel. Check the Vi website’s coverage map for your specific city.
Conclusion: My Final Verdict on Vi Recharge Plans
Here’s what I’ll leave you with: Vi’s plan ecosystem is genuinely solid — it just requires a bit more attention to pick the right one. The biggest mistake I see people make is going for the cheapest option without reading the fine print on daily data limits and Hero Unlimited eligibility.
My personal picks:
- Best value for daily users: ₹299 (1.5GB/day, 28 days)
- Best for entertainment: ₹839 (2GB/day, 84 days + Netflix + Hotstar)
- Best for secondary SIM: ₹1,999 (annual, keeps SIM active)
- Best for light callers: ₹198 or ₹204 (pure talktime)
One last tip — always recharge through the Vi app or myvi.in for the best cashback offers and app-exclusive bonuses. Third-party apps work too, but Vi often reserves extra data or OTT trial offers for direct app users.
