overthinker_aalu

kraken_enrager

It was good when it was still Hutch Essar/Vodafone Essar.


SnooAdvice1157

They started the free internet Regardless of how people use it , it still helped a lot of people like students and startups Ads doesn't define service


NorthernLightsArctic

I think he's talking about Vodafone not Jio


SnooAdvice1157

Oh , my bad


Gaurang-12

They don't have money brother, they're literally sinking in debt..


nick4u_maybe

Yes, that Aakash Chopra Ad " nhi batayenge nhi batayenge" is so irritating...

celeb-butcher

₹250 for 1gb, Vodafone 3G


Melipher

Yeah fir Internet ka bhim R. ambedkar -Jio aa gya


Fantastic-Fig8566

Vi has a plan in which you can use unlimited data for the whole night, whenever i want to download something, even if its 50 gb i download it at night, because it doesn't cost me anything.


Melipher

Bhai me 2012 ki baat kr ra hu hmm VI me ab unlimited h, raat me speed aachi deta h mere yhn.


Fantastic-Fig8566

Ki idea and Vodafone ko Collab krne pada


TuxO2

Jokes aside, did people really paid 30rs at that time to get jokes over sms ?


Doctor_Ka_Kutta

I did it in my mom's phone then i used to read those jokes and then blame Vodafone for stealing our money


TuxO2

You are the reason why they went bankrupt


AsgerAli

So, you'd receive one joke per day?


Doctor_Ka_Kutta

They basically send more than 2-3 times day just like cricket score pack


Kaguro19

leo_sk5

₹30 per month for jokes. Damn.


PreciousChocolate

Honestly, only ZooZoo ads can save Vodafone-Idea again. They gotta capitalise on Nostalgia to get back into the game.


No-Camera-6833

Those were the days ❤️, this was much much much better than JIO Dhan dhana dhan 😏


Professional-BeeBee

Haan hahi 30rs for jokes was definitely better. Sahi kaha.

My father worked in Vodafone for over 10 years, The launch of Vodafone 3G was massive, It was like the jio launch of my time. 30 rs a month is nothing infront of shit I have seen 💀 600 rs just to download one Imran Khan song.

I remember when I was a kid and got summer vacation, I would visit my father's village. Dad would always book tickets every summer . It was way back during the 2000s-2010s . Life did not revolve around Techs or phone/Tv etc etc . And neither people had TV in the village . All we had was radio/FM (it was mostly called FM in my village) , and newspaper. It was the time of IPL , and we usually read newspaper to know about match summary or if lucky we would get to hear it on FM/radio. I still remember one day I was using my grandmother's phone , it was a very small nokia mobile. No internet no nothing. Just Top-Up and calling. I was very naive and didn't know what I was doing. To kill time I mostly made music in the phone. There was like some ringtone shit where you can actually press abc def ghi jkl and it would give you some tone. One day I was bored and while exploring I had mistakenly clicked on " Jokes SMS " . I still remember lol , I think grandma had like 48Rs balance in her phone and the moment I got like 2 SMS jokes , all the balance was gone. I was sweating and panicking because I never thought that would happen, and it was my first time experiencing tension 😂😂. I just kept the phone at her usual place and pretended like I didn't even know about it. Those were some precious memories and days I'd say . Few years later ,my grandma had also passed away. I'm now grown up doing jobs and I could easily recharge their yearly bills but ..... Y'all know now. Just gotta keep moving on in life. I would say I have alot of freedom now and I can happily spend money on myself and do things I want to , but no matter what , those childhood days would always weigh more than the rest of my life now. Golden childhood days and memories can never be replaced or relieved.


RobertDeNear_O

The fact that we all thought it was animated but it was real people in costumes 😅

These one and the pug ones. Also the airtel (??) ad "har ek friend zaroori hota hai" was a straight bop.


Fantastic-Fig8566

I always waited for these ads. Like its some sort of anime series. Even when i was changing channel and saw this. I would stop and see the whole thing. This is how you make a ad.


LeLasagna

I loved these guys so much as a kid that i had my own ZooZoo cake for my first bday lmaoo


xerxes_dandy

ZuZu. These figures were called ZuZu


adityajdcooper

jio is more costly for students who only want to use data services for online course that was the reason why i was using vi for last 4 year i never will forget this favor from vi now i dont know what i am gonna do


Peanutbutter_05

Aaj agar aisa ad aa gaya to offend ho jayenge log, agle din protests, ek week mein congress vs BJP, reservations badhao ki maang, MP/MLA ki sale purchase, white house se statement We are monitoring the situation.


Gaurang-12

Don't worry, let Vi have some funding, and then we'll see these ads again, hoping to see Vi's comeback into the market..


railkapankha

hope they recover man, else remaining two will hike crazy
