Vodafone is providing its postpaid customers free 9GB data every month for duration of three months, totalling to 27GB of free 4G data. This offer seems to be part of the company’s strategy to keep its users from signing up to Reliance Jio[1] in search for low-cost data offers.

This offer will expire in mid-July, and the Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer[3] benefits will end around the same time.
With the new offer, Vodafone is giving 9GB data free every month to postpaid customers on top of the data already part of their plan.

Postpaid customers of Vodafone only need to go to the Vodafone website[4], enter their number to generate the OTP, and then enter their OTP on the website to claim the free data. The only requirements to avail the free data are that users should be postpaid customers with plan having at least 1GB bundled data, and have a 4G smartphone.
