Vi has announced free international roaming on postpaid, prepaid, and enterprise plans. Now, with select Vi plans, users will get free international roaming benefits without having to pay extra for them. This is possibly one of the biggest benefits you can get, as international roaming plans are quite expensive. Also, this adds convenience to your travel plans since you won’t have to purchase an international SIM card. Vi says that with this new offer, consumers will be saving up to Rs 9,000 per year.
Vi is providing free international roaming with postpaid plans starting at Rs 501, annual prepaid unlimited data plans, and corporate plans starting at Rs 451 (for enterprise consumers). According to Vi, free international roaming will be available for up to three trips a year. It will include benefits like free international data quotas and outgoing minutes. However, these benefits will vary depending on the plan you choose and the circle too.
Vi Max postpaid plans of 501, 601, 1251, 801/851, 971, 1301/1401, 1651/1775 are the eligible plans that offer free international roaming services. Vi prepaid users can get free international roaming on several annual data plans starting at Rs 2,997 and going up to Rs 4,999. The offer is available for both individual and family plans.
Vi hasn’t exactly detailed what the benefits are, but since they’re available on several plans, they would be different for each of them. Interested consumers can go to the Vi app or website and look for plans that offer free international roaming benefits. Vi has already updated the eligible plans with the offer, so it should be easy to identify them.
You can still purchase international roaming plans separately, which start at around Rs 649 and go up to Rs 5,999, depending on the country you’re travelling to and the duration of your stay.
If you’re a Vi user and frequently travel abroad, it would make sense to get one of the plans that offer free international roaming benefits. As for other telco consumers, switching to Vi might be cost-saving too, instead of having to pay extra.
