International Roaming : Dos and Donts

You can travel the world over with your Vodafone Number.


Vodafone knows that your mobile connection is indispensable to you. That's why we want to remind you that international voice & data usage is not covered under your existing tariff plan. Any voice or data usage outside India is considered as an International Roaming Usage.


International data roaming can get expensive quickly.


For example, opening an email with a 5 megapixel picture in it, or downloading a 3-minute video on YouTube, each takes about 2 MB of data. The cost would be almost Rs.1126/-, based on pay-per-use international data rates of Rs.5.50/10KB.
