Vodafone introduces prepaid roaming to Australia and New Zealand

Prepaid customers on Vodafone network will now be able to use their local Vodafone SIMS to send and receive calls while in Australia and New Zealand.   This provides our customers an added service and opens opportunities for families as well as businesses to have seamless connection and uninterrupted service on their local mobile numbers whilst they are travelling to these two countries. Until now the mobile roaming service was only available to postpaid customers.

The launch of prepaid roaming comes after high demands from local customers for a more convenient and hassle free way of using their prepaid phones whilst travelling abroad. Customers cited numerous difficulties arranging for a phone connection when they arrive in another country.  These include selecting the right provider, buying new SIM card and going through the registration and activation process.  Once you select a provider you then have to learn entirely new system.  When you are in another country and things are unfamiliar you don’t want too many complications. “It’s frustrating and time-consuming. I want to use my own number and my own cellfone from home country”, said Rajesh Prasad a frequent traveler to Australia.
