As we mentioned, Vodafone has increased its i-Roam FREE international roaming plans for postpaid users to Rs. 599, Rs. 2,999, Rs. 3,999, and Rs. 5,999. It is reported that the operator increased its Rs. 2,500, Rs. 3,500, and Rs. 5,500 on November 15 to Rs. 2,999, Rs. 3,999, and Rs. 5,999, while the Rs. 500 plan revised to Rs. 599 on November 22.
