If you’re someone constantly juggling separate subscriptions for mobile data, Netflix, and maybe even Amazon Prime or Disney+Hotstar, this new plan from Vi might catch your attention. Vodafone Idea has just rolled out its new Vi Max Family Postpaid Plan priced at ₹871 per month, and it’s packed with features aimed at families who love entertainment and need a solid data plan to back it up.
What immediately stands out in this plan is its simplicity and value. At ₹871 per month, you get two mobile connections—one primary and one secondary—under a single bill. The primary user gets 70GB of data, while the secondary line gets 40GB. In addition to this, there’s a shared pool of 10GB data available for either user to consume as needed. This adds up to a total of 120GB per month for the family. It’s especially useful for couples or small families who don’t want to manage multiple individual plans.
Now here’s the highlight: the plan comes bundled with a Netflix Basic subscription. That means you can watch Netflix on one screen at a time, all included in the ₹871 monthly fee. For many users, this alone saves a decent chunk of money since a standalone Netflix Basic plan costs ₹199/month in India. On top of that, Vi is offering access to 18 other OTT platforms through its Vi Movies & TV app. That includes platforms like SonyLIV, Sun NXT, and more, depending on availability.
The plan is also offering some nice extras that could come in handy. Users get unlimited night data between 12 AM and 6 AM, which is perfect for late-night binge-watching or large file downloads. Additionally, any unused data can be rolled over—up to 200GB per user. That’s a rare and welcome feature that ensures you don’t feel like you’re wasting your monthly quota if usage dips one month.
Another interesting component of the Vi Max Family Plan is the option to customize some of the included benefits. Vi is allowing users to pick additional perks like Amazon Prime, SonyLIV, EaseMyTrip travel credits, or Norton Mobile Security. This level of flexibility makes the plan feel more personalized and user-centric, which is something we don’t often see in postpaid offerings.
What about 5G? Vi is currently offering unlimited 5G data in major metro cities and has announced that by August 2025, this will expand to cover 17 telecom circles. So if you're in a 5G-supported area, this plan gets even better from a speed and bandwidth perspective.
Of course, it’s not all perfect. The Netflix Basic plan only allows streaming on one device at a time, which may not work for households with multiple streamers. Adding an extra member to this family plan costs ₹299 per month, which could raise your total bill depending on how many lines you want.
Overall, the Vi ₹871 Max Family Plan feels like a strong move to stay competitive in India’s postpaid segment, especially for digital-first families who consume a lot of content. It simplifies billing, bundles streaming, and gives you more control over your monthly services—all at a reasonable price. If you're already paying separately for Netflix and your mobile plan, this could be a smart switch that saves you both money and effort.
If you're considering switching or upgrading your current postpaid plan, this might be the right time to give Vi another look. Whether it lives up to expectations in terms of network performance and customer service will ultimately decide its success, but on paper, it certainly looks promising.
