How to deactivate international roaming on vodafone: The definitive guide
To deactivate international roaming on Vodafone (Vi), the quickest route is through the MyVi App: open the Main Menu, tap Active Packs, and request deactivation from there. You can also do it via the Vodafone Selfcare app, or by emailing your regional Vodafone circle address if you prefer not to use an app.
How do you deactivate international roaming using the MyVi App?
The MyVi App is the most straightforward option for Vi (formerly Vodafone India) customers. Here is the path to follow:
- Open the MyVi App on your phone and log in.
- Tap the Main Menu (the hamburger icon, usually top-left).
- Select Active Packs from the menu.
- Find your active international roaming service or pack in the list.
- Tap the deactivation option and confirm your request.
The app shows all currently active packs in one place, so you can see exactly which roaming services are running before you cancel anything.
How do you deactivate roaming through the Vodafone Selfcare app?
If you use the Vodafone Selfcare app rather than MyVi, the process is similar. Log in, find your account or services section, and submit a deactivation request for international roaming. The app handles the request without you needing to call anyone.
Both apps are available on Android and iOS. If you have not already set up a login, you will need your registered mobile number and an OTP sent to that number.
Can you deactivate international roaming by email?
Yes. Vi customers can email their regional Vodafone circle address to request deactivation. The circle address depends on which state your number is registered in. You will find the correct address in the 'Contact Us' section of the Vi website. Include your mobile number and a clear request to deactivate international roaming in the subject line, which speeds up processing.
Email is a reasonable fallback if the app is not working or if you want a written record of your deactivation request.
Which method is fastest?
App-based deactivation is generally the fastest option, as the request goes through immediately without waiting for a human to read an email. Use the MyVi App or Vodafone Selfcare app if you need roaming switched off quickly before a trip.
What should you check before deactivating?
Before you confirm deactivation, check which packs are listed under Active Packs. There may be a distinction between a specific roaming data pack and the underlying roaming service itself. Cancelling only the pack but leaving the service active could still allow (and charge for) basic roaming calls. Cancel both if your goal is to stop all international roaming charges entirely.
If you are unsure what is active on your account, the Active Packs screen in the MyVi App gives you the clearest picture before you make any changes.
