    Customers from Kolkata, West Bengal, Orissa, and Bihar can send an SMS ACT IR to 144 (toll-free) to activate international roaming.

    For all Vi Prepaid subscribers, there are no charges for the service till such time the phone is not used on International Roaming. Only upon using your Vi prepaid mobile on International Roaming (for Outgoing calls, Incoming calls, Outgoing SMS & Data usage), you will be charged as per International Roaming standard rates in the country of travel.

    NOTE: If you activate an International Roaming plan before leaving India, you will NOT be charged standard rates and can enjoy International Roaming benefits at an affordable rate. With the best international roaming plans from Vi you can avoid bill shock and travel stress-free.

    Postpaid

  11. Can I use the same handset & SIM while traveling outside India?
  12. Yes, you can use the same handset & SIM in any foreign country. Only if you are using a very old handset model or a non-4G handset, which may not be compatible with the available partner networks in some of the countries, you may need to change your handset. Ex. many countries have only 4G networks, so your handset should be 4G compatible to be used in that country.

     

  13. How to make voice calls once I reach another country?
  14. To make voice calls from overseas, dial the number with the area code as you would do when in India. To call another country, dial + with the country code followed by the phone number.

  15. Will I be charged for incoming messages while on International Roaming?
  16. No, incoming SMS on International Roaming is not charged. However, incoming calls are chargeable on International Roaming.

     

  17. If I have not taken an International Roaming pack, can I use mobile internet?
  18. All data usage is charged as per applicable standard International Roaming rates. To use your phone freely in a foreign country without worrying about high bills, it is advisable to purchase an International Roaming Pack.

    To activate International Roaming Service or Pack, you can simply go to the International Roaming section on the Vi App or website for more details.

    Postpaid:

    Our in-built feature called RoamSafe safeguards you from accidental data usage in a foreign country, thereby resulting in high data charges. Your mobile internet will be kept deactivated, if you travel without a pack or if you travel to a country where our packs are not applicable. If you still wish to use the internet on your mobile, at the applicable standard roaming rates, you can send the SMS ACT IRDATA to 199. This service will remain active for 7 Days and gets automatically deactivated after 7 Days. You can renew this service after every 7 Days by sending the SMS ACT IRDATA to 199.

    However, we strictly advise NOT to use mobile internet abroad without an international pack. Either use a local Wi-Fi or choose a pack from the best international roaming plans available for always staying connected.

    Once the data service has been made active, it will remain ON unless a customer specifically deactivates the data service again. To deactivate the data service (or to re-activate RoamSafe), send the SMS: CAN IRDATA to 199.

     

  19. Can I use my free data quota on my Postpaid Plan or Prepaid Plan on International Roaming?
  20. No, any in-built data quota on your postpaid or prepaid plan is not valid for usage outside of India. For International Roaming, you need to buy separate roaming packs.
