MUMBAI: As outbound travel heats up for the summer, telecom major Vi has stepped up its international roaming (IR) offerings with a seasonally upgraded suite of postpaid plans. The refreshed plans now deliver double data, unlimited incoming calls, and added travel protection for Indian users heading abroad during peak vacation months.

India recorded a surge in international flyers with 64.5 million passengers between January and November 2024—an 11.4 per cent rise over the previous year, as per data from the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Tapping into this growing wanderlust, Vi has revised three IR postpaid plans starting at Rs 649, offering greater convenience, connectivity, and value for Indian travellers across over 145 countries.

Vi’s upgraded IR plans now include a limited-period double data offer:

●    Rs 649 (1 day): 1 GB data (up from 500 MB), 50 outgoing minutes, 10 SMS, unlimited free incoming calls

●    Rs 2999 (10 days): 10 GB data (up from 5 GB), 300 outgoing minutes, 50 SMS, unlimited free incoming calls

●    Rs 3999 (30 days): 30 GB data (up from 12 GB), 1500 outgoing minutes, 100 SMS, unlimited free incoming calls

This upgrade ensures users can do more on-the-go-whether navigating city maps, making video calls, streaming shows, or handling work emails-with reduced data anxiety.

Adding to the hassle-free experience, Vi lets customers schedule roaming pack activations up to 60 days in advance. Travellers can activate their plans any time through the Vi app or website, selecting their destination, duration, and pack in just a few clicks.

To safeguard baggage blues, Vi continues its tie-up with Blue Ribbon Bags. For a nominal Rs 99, users receive up to Rs 19,800 compensation per bag if their checked luggage is delayed or lost beyond 96 hours of complaint registration.

Vi has also ensured that help is always on hand with 24x7 international roaming customer support-available for any network or service issue, wherever users may be.

With robust data packs, always-on assistance, and baggage protection, Vi’s new IR proposition turns global travel into a smoother ride-just in time for the school break exodus.
