Vodafone prepaid is the ONLY Australian prepaid service that can roam.
I believe that it's automatically available to a select group of
countries but others can be activated with a call to customer service.
It will eventually be automatically available to all existing roaming
countries, to all customers.
Hmmm, or are you talking about National Roaming here? Oops, I think
you are. Tata!

:) Yep National Roaming, it is available to the post-paid customers,
but not pre-paid.
Fair enough pre-paid having higher call costs etc. but as far as I am
concerned it should NOT be considered a second rate system to post-paid,
I believe it has developed beyond that now and should have all the same
features available.

I believe that it's Vodafone's publicly stated position: prepaid
customers are not 2nd rate. They make a big deal of it in press
releases sometimes when releasing new plans.

Well they ARE 2nd rate when it comes to National Roaming.

Tell Vodafone.
In anycase, Vodafone's National Roaming is only for a very small part
of Victoria and Tasmania. I don't even know why they bothered setting
it up.

Just another hare brained scheme of Vodafone's
that they toss in the bin along with the dirty shirt.
No surprise that those fuckwits have never managed a profit.

Clear is it? There's nothing in his post that makes it CLEAR that it's
about national roaming.
