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.

Postpaid users need to activate International Roaming service before leaving the country.
Your bill depend on how and how much you use your phone abroad. If you have not taken any International Roaming pack and use your phone normally as you do in India, there is a high chance of you getting a very high bill. It is, therefore, advisable to use your phone on International Roaming only with a pack.
However, we have some safety measures in place to prevent high bill for you for any unconscious usage.
Lastly, we would recommend that you should always purchase an International Roaming pack for using your phone in a foreign country. Get worry-free with a pack, without worrying about any high bills.
Vi has the simplest structure for International Roaming packs. One pack works across all pack countries. So, you don't need to buy different packs for different countries.
The Pack benefits vary as per the country you travel to and depending on whether you are using a postpaid number or a prepaid.
Vi International Roaming packs cover all pack countries with one pack. These countries are divided into 2 categories:
Refer the T&C Page for standard rates applicable.
Always On is an inbuilt feature offered with selective Postpaid International Roaming Packs to protect you from high International Roaming Charges for any usage post pack expiry. For eg: If you have taken a 10-day pack and you continue usage on International Roaming post 10 days, you will just get charged as per the Daily Roaming pack @Rs749 as your entire usage is treated as pack usage, thereby saving you from any high bill basis standard rates. If your usage is less than Rs 749 post IR pack expiry, you will be charged on actuals and not a flat amount of Rs 749. Example: Post IR pack expiry, if you send only 2 SMS in the day, then you will be charged Rs30 for the day (Rs15/SMS). The "Always On" feature comes with a validity of 3 years from the date of IR pack activation. It will remain active even after you return to India but NO charges would be incurred when in India. To avoid unnecessary charges in your future travel unless needed, it is recommended that you disable mobile data from your handset by switching it off in your data connectivity settings.
Roaming usages are billed as per data received from the International Operators on whose network you would have used your mobile while in that country. This data is received upto 60 days from the time the usage is done. In case of delay in receiving such data files from the International Operators, usages made in a particular bill period may reflect in succeeding bill period.
Your International Roaming service needs to be active when you are calling the helpline number +91 9920055666 from your Vi no. No charges apply when you call this helpline number from your Vi number when abroad. You can also dial this number from a local phone abroad, call charges apply as per the country’s call rates.
