Vodafone Idea has added free international roaming to certain prepaid, postpaid, and enterprise plans. The benefit covers more than 170 countries and can save eligible users up to Rs 9,000 annually. Annual prepaid options in the offer are priced between Rs 3,599 and Rs 4,999, while postpaid and enterprise plans start at Rs 501 and Rs 451 respectively.
Vodafone Idea's offer applies to chosen prepaid, postpaid and business plans. The prepaid annual options in the eligible range cost between Rs 3,599 and Rs 4,999, while postpaid and enterprise packages begin at Rs 501 and Rs 451. The roaming benefit spans more than 170 countries and is promoted as saving eligible users up to Rs 9,000 yearly.
For prepaid users, the complimentary roaming bundle is tied to daily data and Non Stop Hero annual packs. Customers can activate one free international roaming benefit during the pack's validity through the Vi App. Availability can differ by telecom circle, so users are advised to check local plan listings.
Vi's move could make international connectivity more accessible for eligible travellers, families and business users, potentially reducing the need for local SIMs and helping them retain their Indian number for messages and OTPs. It may also pressure rival operators to bundle similar roaming benefits, raising consumer expectations. The real effect, however, may depend on plan eligibility, circle-level availability, fair-use limits and network performance abroad.
