Vi 5G Launched in Mumbai, Check out 5G Plans of Vi

Before the end of Financial year 2024-25, country's third largest wireless service provider, Vi has launched 5G in Mumbai. The company will bring 5G in other 4 circles by April 2025 - in Bihar, Delhi, Karnataka and Punjab. 

Like others, Vi has brought 5G plans starting from Rs 299 with introductory unlimited 5G data along with daily 1GB or 1.5GB or 2GB data on 4G network. All plans except the basic 299 plan, have unlimited night data, weekend data rollover and back up data of 2GB. While Jio's True5G plans, though, start with Rs 198 but comes with 2GB/day 4G data with only 14 days of validity and JioTV and JioAICloud subscriptions. Most of the Jio's True5G plans come with atleast 2GB per day data. Jio's annual 5G plan costs same as Vi's INR3599, but packs 2.5GB/day, 90 days of JioHotstar subscription, 50GB of Jio Cloud storage - but with Free Night data and Weekend rollover I would say Vi's 5G annual pack is better than Jio. 

Vi had plan to launch 5G in 75 cities of key 17 circles by March, 2025 but they missed the deadline. 

In Mumbai, Vi deployed Nokia's 5G solutions. 

In Delhi, Vi is deploying 5G solutions from Ericsson.

In Bihar, Karnataka and Punjab Samsung is the technology partner of Vi. 

That means Samsung became the faster than other vendor partners of Vi. 

Vi 5G is using 5G-NSA (Non standalone) - which is a transitional approach to 5G deployment where the 5G radio access network (RAN) operates alongside the existing 4G LTE core network (also known as Evolved Packet Core or EPC).
