Vodafone announced during this day that all customers with subscriptions or prepaid cards will benefit from all national minutes and national internet traffic in Romania in roaming. Practically, when traveling, Vodafone customers will be able to enjoy all the benefits they have in Romania in terms of minutes and national internet.
The announcement comes just a few hours after Orange announced something similar, but for only part of its customers, the rest remaining without these benefits. Practically, with this announcement, Vodafone secures an advantage over its competitors Orange, and this is because it offers the benefits for several types of subscriptions, but also for prepaid cards.

Vodafone's offer is part of the 20th anniversary campaign in Romania, so there will probably be other similar announcements this year.
