How does inter-carrier roaming benefit consumers?
Inter-carrier roaming potentially allows all GSM users, including those who are customers of another GSM carrier, to benefit from the increased coverage. Vodafone will be offering inter-carrier roaming through its subsidised base stations, covering approximately 34 per cent of the designated highways. This should correspond closely to gaps in other GSM carrier’s networks, resulting in the possibility of near continuous service to subscribers to other GSM networks. Other carriers need to reach commercial agreements with Vodafone for inter-carrier roaming to be activated.
