Available to both prepaid and postpaid users, Vodafone has launched its new plan known as Vodafone Friends Circle. The much hyped plan allows users to add other local Vodafone numbers to their friends list and make calls to them at only 20paise/min.

However, the ad says that you can add as many friends as you like to list, which does not hold true in reality. The maximum number of friends you can add has a limitation of 10 for prepaid users. You can change these at your own convenience, but this will cost you Rs.5 for each change. The plan is charged at 50paise per day.



For the postpaid users, this could turn out to be pretty expensive as the number of Vodafone users that you can add to your list is 5, and each comes at the price of Rs.15/month.

The plan might provide good value of money for a prepaid user, but will also benefit a postpaid user who has majority calling to particular a Vodafone number. Also the fact that the plan provides the flexibility to add one or more friends (postpaid) gives it that extra benefit.
