Vodafone Portugal has eliminated roaming fees in the EU for customers on its Red postpaid plan. The basic Red plan now starts at EUR 27.5 per month, up from EUR 26.90 previously, and comes with unlimited calls and texts and 200 MB of data in Portugal (400 MB for first 12 months). In the EU, customers have a 'fair use' of 15 days per year of free roaming from their standard monthly bundle, as well as a monthly cap on roaming of 200 minutes, 200 SMS and 200 MB. That compares to a domestic fair use of 5,000 minutes or SMS to Vodafone networks and 2,000 minutes and SMS to other networks each month.
The offer is based on a 24-month contract. The amount of data on the Red plan can be increased to 1 GB for an extra EUR 5 per month, and in a promotional offer until 31 March for new customers, Vodafone offers 2 GB for the same price of EUR 5. Normally 2 GB costs an extra EUR 9.99, 3 GB 12.99 and 5 GB 14.99 per month. Additional lines can also be added to the Red plan to share the bundle with family members, and it can also be combined with Vodafone's fixed-line packages.
