Vodafone Delhi-NCR, has tied up with Meru, Easy and Mega cabs to assist commuters to upgrade their existing SIM card to a faster & superior 4G SIM. Vodafone has refurbished nearly 500 cabs into 4G SIM mobile dispensers for a faster and superior 4G SIM.

4G SIM kits (both prepaid and postpaid) are placed in the dispensers of these cabs with instructions for commuter who sits in the cab and wishes to upgrade their SIM. The customer can pick this SIM kit, follow the instructions inside and upgrade their existing Vodafone 3G SIM to a 4G SIM free of cost. Vodafone is also offering 4GB free data for 10 days for prepaid customers and 4GB till the bill cycle for post-paid customers.

Commenting on the month long activity Alok Verma, Business Head, Delhi-NCR, “Since the launch of 4G services in Delhi last year, we have witnessed a tremendous shift in usage to 4G data from 2G & 3G data. To experience this world class 4G network, it’s essential that our consumers upgrade their 3G SIMs to 4G SIMs, and this tie-up is a unique intervention to make this process mobile and within easy reach of our consumers. From home delivering the SIMs to extensive presence at all our retail touch points and now associating with leading cab aggregators, Vodafone has tried to ensure that our customers get easy access to the 4G SIM and our Data strong services.”
