Speaking about the launch, Avneesh Khosla, Chief Marketing Officer, Vi, said, “At Vi, ‘Vi Pe Sab Hain VIP’ is more than a campaign. It is a promise we are bringing to life through meaningful interventions to ensure inclusivity. Liberating international travel is the first among many. Traditionally, international roaming has meant buying a pack or making an additional purchase of a new local SIM or a travel eSIM and is mostly perceived as expensive. We are taking a disruptive approach by making international roaming a built-in benefit on our key plans. It is a simple but significant shift from ‘buy roaming when you travel’ to your ‘Vi number travels with you for free.’ This is exactly what ‘Vi Pe Sab Hain VIP’ stands for: identifying a real customer pain point and solving it through a disruptive, meaningful benefit for every Vi consumer, making them feel valued.”
Vi free international roaming
Depending on the plan, customers can avail of free international roaming for up to three trips a year. The included benefits vary by plan and cover different allowances for international data, outgoing calling minutes, calling & SMS, and travel validity.
With this announcement, Vi is offering customers savings of up to Rs 9000 per year. Eligible postpaid plans also include their applicable regular benefits, such as data, calling and entertainment.
The proposition covers individual, family and business travellers. Under eligible family plans, the primary and free secondary members can use their respective included roaming benefits.
This move addresses several challenges traditionally associated with international travel, including purchasing local or travel SIMs, losing access to an Indian mobile number, managing OTPs, relying on public WiFi and dealing with unexpected roaming charges.
The company has also launched a commercial featuring Shah Rukh Khan as part of its “Vi Pe Sab Hain VIP” campaign.
Eligible customers can access free international roaming and other benefits through postpaid plans starting at Rs 501, annual prepaid unlimited data plans and corporate plans starting at Rs 451 for enterprise consumers. Customers can activate the benefit through the Vi app by selecting the eligible international Roam-Free plans.
