Customers also will be able to take advantage of Vodafone WorldTraveller in more destinations than ever before this summer. From 15 June, 22 destinations, including the Caribbean islands of Antigua, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and Trinidad & Tobago, will join the eight destinations across the world already covered by Vodafone WorldTraveller. Pay monthly customers and business travellers on certain price plans, using their mobile, tablet and dongle in any of these 30 destinations can take their existing UK minutes, texts and data with them for just an extra £5 a day.

Customers travelling within Europe can use Vodafone EuroTraveller for just £3 extra a day. More than 2.5 million customers have chosen to opt into Vodafone EuroTraveller, so they can take their UK minutes, texts and data to anywhere in 40 destinations.

Vodafone EuroTraveller is available on all Pay monthly price plans and a wide number of business price plans. This means customers on Vodafone Red bundles – which include unlimited calls and texts – are able to call or text home using Vodafone EuroTraveller and Vodafone WorldTraveller, without worrying about unexpected bills. By opting in to either service, there’s no charge for receiving calls or texts and customers only pay for the days they use their device abroad. Vodafone EuroTraveller and Vodafone WorldTraveller are also available to customers using 4G whilst abroad, and from 1 June, mobile broadband will be added to both packages.
