International roaming charges can be quite intimidating to most of us. But you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover that Vi™ has one of the widest ranges of international roaming packs (IR), with free unlimited outgoing calls to your destination country and other countries. Whether you’re on a vacation or a business trip, Vi™’s international roaming packs got you covered with unlimited calling and data benefits.

Read on below to understand some of the best benefits Vi™ has to offer to its postpaid users.
International postpaid packs and their benefits
Vi™ provides international roaming packs to customers travelling abroad for a brief period of up to 60 days or less.

We have an international pack that is valid for up to 24 hours and has a rental of ₹599.

2. Fixed Benefits and Always On Thereafter
These Vi™ packs are available for international postpaid roamers with validity periods of 7days, 10 days, 14 days and 28 days with rental charges of ₹2999, ₹3999, ₹4999 and ₹5999, respectively.
Benefits offered are:
· Free data, free incoming calls
· Free SMS services (T&C apply)
· Free outgoing local calls and calls to India at 29 listed countries
· Other benefits for the remaining 51 countries
3. The “Always On” feature
This feature allows users to stay connected even after their packs expire (in 4, 10, 14, 28 days). Charges of ₹599/day will apply only if there is the usage of voice, SMS or calls. However, these charges won't be applicable when in India. The ‘Always On’ feature is valid for 3 years, once activated.
4. Roam Safe Feature
Vi™’s RoamSafe feature protects its users from unwanted or accidental usage charges by keeping data off when:
· A customer tours a country without activating an international roaming pack
· A customer tours a country where the said roaming pack is not applicable
However, if a subscriber wishes to use data while abroad, standard international charges apply.
A customer can also activate data services in the following ways:
· By sending an SMS ACT IRDATA to 199 or dialling *111*1*4*3#
· Data remains active until he chooses to deactivate it
To deactivate the data service, customers can SMS CAN IRDATA to 199.
