Vodafone to Offer Free National Roaming

BENGALURU: The London based multinational telecommunication company-Vodafone- announced free roaming calls in India. The company will offer free incoming calls while roaming nationally for all its customers from the coming month.

Even though Vodafone India Director – Commercial, Sandeep Kataria said in a statement that the offer is part of an ongoing 200 million customer celebration, the new move seems like a counter to the rising Reliance Jio trend. “Providing free incoming on national roaming will ensure that our customers do not think twice while traveling out of town,” said Sandeep Kataria.

“Even though outgoing charges while roaming had become comparable to home charges, consumer research has shown that incoming charges while roaming have been a hindrance to worry free usage,” added Kataria.

Vodafone recently announced a double monthly data offer for the Vodafone Red customers. Additionally, to the increase in data, users can also get a free subscription to Vodafone Play for a limited time. A Vodafone Red plan that start at 499 for 1GB of data allows postpaid subscribers to create a group of up to six people who share voice, SMS, and Internet data. Last month Vodafone had also announced a free data plan that offers 10GB of 4G data to users at the price of a 1GB plan.

In the mean time, the new entrant Reliance Jio is offering free voice telephony across the country, including outgoing calls, which is a big challenge for the current providers.
