Vodafone Idea (Vi) has introduced a new set of international roaming plans for its postpaid subscribers in India ahead of the summer travel season. The operator has added new seven-day, 14-day, and 21-day packs to give users more options based on the length of their trips. The updated portfolio now includes 17 international roaming packs with validity ranging from one day to 30 days. The plans offer combinations of data, voice minutes, and SMS benefits across more than 120 countries.
The 17 new packs, now available for Vi postpaid customers in India, are intended to match different travel durations and usage requirements more closely than before, the company said in a press release.
The international roaming plans offer two types of benefits depending on the destination. In more than 40 countries, select packs include unlimited data, voice calls, and SMS. In over 120 other countries, the same packs provide a fixed amount of data, voice minutes, and SMS instead of unlimited usage. According to Vi, it is the only telecom operator in India that offers unlimited voice and data benefits, particularly to 41 international destinations. The company has not listed all supported countries in the announcement.
