Vodafone Qatar will add the US, France and Switzerland to its  Vodafone Passport postpaid package later this month, offering customers a standard roaming rate of Dh75 ($0.20) per minute/SMS/MB when roaming in these countries.

This is a massive reduction to the regular rates a customer would pay when roaming. For instance, when roaming in France a customer would pay a regular rate of QR55 ($15) per MB while when activating the Passport a customer will only pay Dh75, a statement said.

This comes in addition to the 23 countries already on Vodafone Passport that also enable customers to roam for Dh75 per minute/SMS/MB; these are: UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, India, Egypt, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, Netherlands, Greece, South Africa, Ireland, Ghana, Romania, Czech Republic, Portugal, Hungary, Iceland, Albania, and Malta.

Vodafone Passport is a bonus that can be added for free to the Postpaid Gold Plan or above. Alternatively, customers can add the Vodafone Passport as an Extra on top of their postpaid plan for QR50 a month, according to the statement. – TradeArabia News Service
