To clarify , I called Customer service as I wanted to enable this Pack. They have categorically stated that this plan provided 60% discount on Calls and not on DATA or SMS.

it would have been better if the company had reduced the national ropaming rates like tata docomo this offer is irrelevent for 95% of the indians

Vodafone is best . It allows International roaming even in prepaid connection without any pre activation . I brother just came back from Nepal and China (Tibet), confirmed of having auto roaming activated on his Vodafone Prepaid SIM from India .

So does this mean that the subscriber pays Rs.1499 inclusive of rental as well as unlimited voice, sms, and data usage in the international destination? calls includes voice calls to the the country visited as well as calls back to india and any other country? SMS implies local, long distance and international? Data implies 3G speeds? what does the 60% discount apply on? if they say its a one time rental fee with unlimited usage on voice calls, sms and data?
