Vodafone has announced that it has started offering free Wi-Fi connectivity in Delhi’s Khan Market area for both Vodafone and Non-Vodafone subscribers. This covers most frequented hotspots like ROUTE 04, SOY, Choko La, Big Chill, Pure Punjab, Chonas, Town Hall and Khan Chacha. Last year Airtel partnered with Google to launch Free Zone to access some Google Apps for free. I experienced a similar free WiFi service at Hyderabad Airport powered by Tata Docomo. Other operators should follow this.
To enjoy Vodafone-powered free Wi-Fi
- Vodafone customers can SMS ACT TRYWIFI to 111 to access the Wi-Fi to avail 50 MB data every day for 30 days.
- Non-Vodafone customers can collect their vouchers from the outlets in the area and enjoy free Wi-Fi for 20 mins. Post 20 min they can take another free voucher. Free service is available for a month in Khan Market
Regarding the new free Wi-Fi, Vodafone said:
Khan Market is a prominent place in the national capital where thousands of people mostly youngsters visit every day for Leisure, dine-in, business and shopping purposes. Covering the entire Khan Market, the deployment of Wi-Fi hotspot would ensure seamless connectivity across the market.
The launch is in sync with the emerging trends of data consumption especially by the younger generation for whom it is imperative to stay connected around the clock. The addition of Wi-Fi services Khan Market will be another feather added to the charm of one of the most well-known markets of the city.
Hope Vodafone would introduce similar Wi-Fi hotspots in other cities as well.
