Vodafone Idea (Vi) has set up a telecom tower in Parapatta Village, Kozhikode to serve the connectivity as well as online education needs of students in the area. With this, Vi has become the first Indian telco to service this area.
The Vi telecom site was officially commissioned at the hands of Kodenchery Grama Panchayat President, Alex Thomas.
Commenting on the development, S. Murali, cluster business head, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Vodafone Idea Limited, said, “As Kerala’s largest and fastest 4G telecom service provider serving over 1.6 Cr. customers across the length and breadth of the state, Vi is committed to provide the finest voice and data services to enable our customers to get more, do more and stay ahead in life. It is a matter of pride for Vi to be an enabler in the academic pursuit of these young students from Parapetta. I would like to thank the Kozhikode district authorities for their support in fast tracking the necessary processes for commissioning the telecom tower within the shortest time period.”
Additionally, to cater to the high data demand amongst students and working professionals who have had to resort to study and work from home due to the extended pandemic, Vi has introduced various value offers for its customers.
Customers can also take the benefit of Night Binge service that facilitates unlimited high-speed data from 12am – 6am, at no extra cost. This service is available on all Vi pre-paid recharges worth Rs 249 and above. Vi users have the additional benefit of weekend rollover of data whereby customers can carry forward unutilised data during the weekdays to use during C1 – Vodafone Idea External weekend.
Amongst multiple offerings to support students in their journey for a better tomorrow, Vi offers exclusive access to a world of learning and upskilling opportunities through e tie-ups with Upgrad, Udemy and Pedagogy.
Further, Kite Victors channel is free with a Vi Unlimited Recharge. The govt. sponsored/endorsed educational TV Channel (Kite Victors) is available on the Vi Mobile and TV app. Vi customers can download the Vi MTV App after undertaking an ‘Unlimited’ pack recharge.
