Why can’t my sim plan carry over from other countries when under the same company

339 viewsOtherTechnology

I have vodafone in the UK and vodafone exists as a sim provider in india but i can’t use my UK sim without paying international roaming fees. Seeing as it’s all part of the same company won’t they just be able to use my UK plan in india and vice versa?

They are not the same company. Most countries require any company doing business in the country (ie selling and making money) incorporate a domestic company. Some countries allow for this company to be wholly owned by a parent company. Others may not or have some restrictions apply.

Vodafone in India is a partnership between Vodafone group and a local Indian company. So it is not the same company.

This doesn’t mean that the India based company couldn’t offer some special deal for roaming. But they’re really not forced to.
