As with other mobile operators, Vodafone is also offering a free upgrade to 4G SIM cards for its existing customers, including doorstep delivery of the SIM card (for requests received before 4pm the same day). Users can exchange SIM cards in only select outlets, however, new customers can buy a 4G SIM in all outlets.

The telecom operator added that 4G users will get 4G international roaming access in the UK, Romania, Spain, and the Netherlands.
