Getting an International SIM Card: A Guide for Frequent Travelers

Staying connected to loved ones back home when on an international trip is essential. However, you should activate an international phone plan to stay connected and enjoy affordable calling, texting, or data services without worrying about bill shocks. An international roaming plan ensures you do not incur excessive charges while traveling abroad. 

Consider answering a few questions before your international trips to help you select an international roaming plan:

• How many countries will you be visiting?

Check your itinerary to assess if you need international roaming for one or multiple countries. This way, you can choose a country-specific roaming plan or one with a roaming option in multiple countries.

• How long is your trip for?

Select an international roaming plan for the number of days based on your travel duration. Vi provides IR plans valid for a day, a week, or a month, so you can choose a plan that works best for you.

• What will be your requirements while traveling internationally?

Evaluate your needs based on the number of outgoing/incoming calls you might make, or the data required on your international travels. With this, you can pick a plan tailored to your specific needs.

Once you know all your requirements, head to the international roaming page via the Vi website or App and select a suitable plan before your foreign travels.
