False. They now increased the rate to 5,000 Rupees for Prepaid and 1,500 for Postpaid.

For Prepaid :


For Postpaid :

These are deposits, probably not a balance in your main account.



Selecting manually did not work, I tried that. Managed to get a cheap prepaid SingTel sim which worked a lot better and the costs back to home were cheap, including internet.

5000 for prepaid and 1500 for post paid is plain stupid. For prepaid, i can as it is not call more than what my balance allows while in postpaid, i can call more (assuming there is no upper cap). It should be more for postpaid.

hmmm try doing this, if you have service more than a year you can roam without deposit. I tried it with Idea... it works...

Not sure why it did not work in your case but i am in USA here and have a Vodafone number. I had never activated International roaming but after i landed in the US, Vodafone started to deduct 99 Rs per month from my prepaid account. I had to keep my balance proper to ensure that i am able to pay that amount every month.

Well, if you go out of India then no sooner you run USSD code (or pick a call or send an SMS), Vodafone activates international roaming and deducts 99Rs!

Checking balance itself is USSD code! So now you know why Vodafone kept deducting 99Rs!

My prepaid Vodafone sim had international roaming activated by default since beginning. I used it for 2-3 years without any issues. I was getting sms on my Indian number for free.
