VI International Roaming or local E-Sim for Europe

[Firephoenix]

Hi Guys,

I’ll be travelling to Europe(France, Switzerland, Netherlands) this weekend and searching for a reliable network.

Primarily I have Airtel/Jio and I don’t feel either of these have good international roaming plans.

Thinking to get VI prepaid sim from nearby VI store as they offer better international roaming plans and highlight unlimited data usage atleast for France and Netherlands and 5 GB for Switzerland.

FUP for unlimited data seems to be 2 GB per day acc to terms and conditions(please correct me if I am wrong)

Please let me know if you used VI internationally especially in Europe, how are the speeds network etc and should I take this or get some local e-sim upon landing(also suggest operator if you have experience)

TIA

If the only reason you want a SIM is to use the internet, then just get a local SIM. It is usually cheaper and works across EU.

I remember, the partner network for Vodafone being KPN or Orange.
The speeds depend on them, but is typically very good compared to what one gets in India.

I use Vodafone in the UK and haven't had any issues in roaming in most countries in the EU.

If you have an eSIM capable phone, you can also get a data only eSIM prior to your trip. You will have data the moment you land.

Recently had used Travel eSIM - #1 eSIM Provider | Maya Mobile, worked great.
