Is this service only available on Vodafone? I've seen no mention of it on any mobile provider website. Its such a handy thing when travelling, and I'm loathe not the option of having it by moving from VF.

Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all...

Vodafone are the only network that has launched such an option in the NZ market.

Agree that to me it is a deal breaker for transferring to an other provider.

Yip Vodafone's roaming is light years ahead of Spark and 2degrees.

I had this in Europe last year, was awesome. Was in a different country every 2-3 days so swapping SIMs wasnt really an option.

That said... how many people travel so much that this is a reason not to move to a better plan? :)

I was just looking at these roaming packs after coming back from Asia. The $5 is great if the list supports your countries. Good for short trips but a 3 or 4 week trip at $5/day does add up. The countries I was visiting was unfortunately not on the list, so they were quite expensive.

It's only for post paid customers right?
