Vodafone drops roaming rates

The Herald reports:

Vodafone will slash data roaming rates to Australia by 93 per cent and other international rates by 66 per cent by the end of the month, the mobile giant said yesterday.

This is a very welcome move by Vodafone. Rates will drop from $30/MB to $2/MB in Australia and $10/MB elsewhere.

I try to minimise data use when overseas, but it is very difficult to have zero use.

Great to see Vodafone respond to the numerous complaints.

UPDATE: A reader alerts me that the Vodafone rate cuts are for three months only. This is better than no drop at all, but people should be very careful after August to ensure if the rates have gone back to the normal daylight robbery.
