NEW DELHI: Telecom service provider Vodafone India has extended the bill payment date by three days for postpaid customers in Delhi NCR.

Additionally, for the benefit of pre-paid customers running out of balance, Vodafone is providing small credits on both talktime and data.

For Talktime - Chhota Credit of Rs. 10 - Just SMS CREDIT on the toll free number 144 and Rs.10 will be credited to your account. This comes with a service charge of Re. 3 per transaction. With a validity of 7 days, it will be adjusted in your next recharge.

Customers can avail 30MB of DATA for use instantly with a validity of 24 hours. The DATA can be used across 2G/3G/4G networks. To avail Internet Credit or I-CREDIT, Vodafone customers need to send an SMS ‘ICREDIT’ to 144 (toll free), alternatively customers can send USSD short code (Option to activate both Internet and chhota credit) *130*4*2#.
