Telecom major Vodafone today announced an 80 per cent reduction in its 3G tariffs, a second time in less than a month, extending the price war.

With this, Vodafone's latest entry level plan offers 25MB of data downloads for Rs25 while at the higher end, up to 12 GB of data downloads are available at a peak rental of Rs1,599.

Vodafone is the fourth telecom service provider to reduce rates after Bharti Airtel, Idea Celluar and Reliance communication.

Under the pay-as-you-go for pre-paid customers, the rate has been cut by 80 per cent to 2 paise per 10kb.

Vodafone also announced there will be no additional charges for roaming on data usage.

"Additionally, Vodafone will now allow its customers to use data from their bundle package while on-net roaming across any location in India without any additional charge," a company statement said.
