Vodafone announced the launch of 4G services in Kochi, Kerala, using their state-of-the-art 1800MHz 4G LTE network on December 8, 2015. Vodafone has become the first network operator in the state to offer 2G, 3G, and 4G services with this launch. Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata will all receive ultra-high-speed 4G services in the near future.
The high-speed 4G network guarantees fast upload and download speeds. You should be able to download a whole movie in a few minutes under ideal circumstances.
How to Upgrading to Vodafone 4G
The company provides an easy upgrade process for its existing customers. By changing your existing SIM card with a new 4G SIM card, you may take use of Vodafone’s 4G services.
Through a seamless experience, the company has made arrangements to replace your existing SIM with a new 4G SIM for free. Here are a few options for getting 4G:
Option 1: Request a replacement at any Vodafone service centre. They will immediately provide you with a new 4G SIM.
Option 2: Send an SMS with the message “4G SIM” to the number 199.
If you order before 4:00 p.m., postpaid 4G SIMs will be delivered to your doorstep the same day. Well, I’m not sure how realistic this offer is, but you can expect a new SIM in the next 1 or 2 days at the most.
Speed test with Vodafone 4G
The company has not made any formal announcements about the 4G service’s actual speed. However, I was able to put the speed to the test at their Kochi launch event. It achieved a super high speed of 100Mb/s in the test settings. However, because the actual speed relies on various factors, including your location and the overall 4G network performance in your area, you may not be able to receive this speed on your devices. The 100 Mbps speed I received was in the testing device shortly after the official launch of 4G, when there were no other users and the antennas had been tuned for the best performance in the launch site.
Is it worthwhile to upgrade to 4G?
Many customers may be unsure whether or not they need to upgrade to 4G. So, when a new technology emerges that provides much-improved speed, Why not take advantage of the situation? There are a few preliminary offers worth examining. Customers with 4G can take advantage of the following unique offers:
1. Upgrade to a 4G SIM card for free
2. For the first three months, Hungama Play will provide free access to over 7500 movies as part of a cooperation.
3. Vodafone Music offers over 1.2 million songs to stream and listen to.
4. For the next three months, all 4G RED users will receive 100 percent more data.
5. Data packs start at Rs 29 for 120MB of ultra-fast 4G data.
Please keep in mind that the speed may vary from place to place and from time to time. The Vodafone 4G speed on a smartphone at a test site is displayed in this screenshot, however, this speed may not be available to all customers at all times.
