ROAM UNLIMITED ACROSS THE WORLD
This vacation stay connected with a data strong network
All of us crave for a peaceful vacation without the constant ringing and email alerts. While we hope to stay “off the grid” as much as possible, if we’re running a small business or taking an extended trip, it’s often necessary to have daily access to email, not to mention social sharing sites like Twitter and Facebook. In today’s world it is practically impossible to stay isolated - one always needs to be in touch with loved ones, there would always be that one call from office no matter how well you have prepared to avoid office calls during the vacation and besides who doesn’t like to go live or show off their photos on social media to the world. With today’s “in the moment” generation, waiting or searching for public wifi spot is not always feasible. And yet there’s no faster way to lose your post-vacation glow than to get a shudder-inducing phone bill. Hence having a worry free, unlimited international roaming proposition is paramount.
To make life easier for all the travelers seeking wanderlust, Vodafone India, one of India’s leading telecommunications service providers has launched an Unlimited International roaming plan, Vodafone i-RoamFREE @ Rs.180/day for travelers across 18 countries encompassing UK, Europe amongst others.
