Netflix told Gadgets 360 in a statement that (translated) “We have launched a new mobile plan to make it easier for every smartphone user in India to enjoy Netflix. We want to see whether users like the benefits of Mobile+ or not. “Only if they like, we will roll out this plan for a longer period of time.”
This is not the first time that Netflix has tested the Mobile+ plan in India. In July last year, the company had tested a similar plan for Rs 349. However, that plan was not further rolled out on a large scale. Certainly people would not have found this plan beneficial at this price. Now it remains to be seen whether customers like the Netflix Mobile+ plan for Rs 299 or not.
Along with Netflix’s Rs 199 plan, the new Rs 299 plan is sure to compete with Amazon’s Prime Video Mobile Edition plan, which was introduced in January this year at Rs 89 per month.
Netflix’s new Rs. Rs 299 Mobile+ plan is currently being tested with select customers, so it is possible that you may not see this plan on the company’s website.
