One of the interesting features offered to Vi international roaming users is 'Always On'. It protects users from high international roaming charges for any usage after pack expiry. The Rs 749 plan is good if you just want to be connected for a day through your Indian SIM. However, if you plan to stay for a longer period and need your Indian SIM to be active, then you can choose from higher denomination plans.
