International travel often comes with an additional connectivity checklist. Travellers may need to arrange local SIMs, purchase international roaming packs, manage unfamiliar numbers, or depend on unsecured public Wi-Fi. Vi is changing this experience by introducing Free International Roaming with select postpaid, prepaid and enterprise plans, helping eligible customers stay connected across 170+ countries without the usual complexity associated with overseas connectivity.
Free International Roaming Across 170+ Countries with Vi
Vi’s latest offering bundles international roaming into eligible plans, giving customers a simpler way to stay connected when travelling abroad. Depending on the plan, customers can access international data and outgoing calling minutes as part of the included roaming benefit.
The offering is designed for individual, family and business travellers, with eligible plans providing Free International Roaming for up to three trips in a year. The applicable international data quota, outgoing minutes and other benefits depend on the selected plan. Customers can potentially save up to ₹9,000 per year, making the proposition particularly relevant for those who travel internationally multiple times.
Who Can Access Vi’s Free Roaming Benefit?
The Free International Roaming proposition extends across eligible postpaid, prepaid and enterprise plans. Prepaid customers can access the benefit through eligible daily data and NonStop Hero annual prepaid plans starting from ₹3599 (Not applicable for NE, JK, and Assam circles). For postpaid customers, eligible plans start at ₹501, while enterprise customers can choose eligible corporate plans starting at ₹451.
Plan eligibility and benefits can vary by circle, making it important for customers to check the plans available in their location before making a selection. The specific international data allowance, outgoing calling minutes, number of eligible trips and validity are also determined by the applicable plan.
A More Convenient Way to Stay Connected Abroad
International connectivity can be particularly important when travellers need to receive OTPs, make calls, access mobile data or remain reachable on their regular Indian number. Traditional approaches can involve purchasing a separate travel SIM or local connection, changing numbers and relying on public Wi-Fi. Vi’s Free International Roaming proposition aims to simplify these steps by allowing eligible customers to continue using their Vi connection while travelling.
The benefit can be useful for different types of travellers. A business traveller can remain reachable during an overseas work trip, families can stay connected while travelling together, and holidaymakers can use their included roaming benefits without having to arrange another mobile connection before departure.
Easy Activation Through the Vi App
Vi has also focused on making access to the offering straightforward. Eligible customers can open the Vi App, select an applicable International Roam-Free plan and activate the benefit for their trip. This digital approach allows customers to manage their roaming requirements without needing to navigate complicated activation processes.
Conclusion
By including Free International Roaming with select plans, Vi is positioning international connectivity as a built-in benefit rather than an additional travel arrangement. With coverage across 170+ countries and potential savings of up to ₹9,000 annually, the offering gives eligible customers another reason to consider a Vi Max Postpaid or eligible prepaid plan when planning their next international journey.
Note: Free International Roaming is available only with eligible plans. Customers should check the applicable plan details before purchasing or activation.
