Vodafone is offering unmetered international calls to 10 countries now, along with double data on select plans, in a bid to steal customers away from Telstra, Optus and Virgin.

The 10 countries covered by the $50 prepaid cap are: China, India, USA, UK, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and South Korea.

Vodafone is also doubling the amount of data it is offering in its $30 and $40 Prepaid Caps, now offering 1GB data on a $30 Cap and 2GB data on a $40 Cap. The $50 Cap includes 3GB of data.

“Prepaid data plans haven’t typically included as generous data inclusions as that of postpaid plans.

Since the company welcomed prepaid customers onto its 4G network last year, 4G data usage has jumped 61% on average.

“We want our customers to enjoy using data freely, with more data inclusions to enjoy than ever before,” said Mr Dave.

The company’s revised $50 prepaid cap includes unmetered international calls to 10 countries, in addition to unmetered national voice calls and 3GB of Internet data allowance.

Vodafone’s $30 and $40 prepaid caps will have their data allowances doubled to 1GB and 2GB respectively.

A further 500MB of data is available if people recharge a $30, $40 or $50 do so using the MyVodafone app or its online web portal.

Vodafone’s refreshed prepaid caps will be available for new and existing customers on 24 September.
