Vodafone Greece just reduced the per call charge from 1.19 EUR to 1.00 EUR.

There are news about the German D2 Reiseversprechen: starting April the option shall be valid in 33 countries (instead of the current 20), according to the following report.
Details (especially about the countries) are to be announced at the CeBIT.

that's pretty odd, as Vodafone UK has T-mobile Slovakia

Hello
The vodafone passport works with A la Carte? Or it is better to use an A la Carte system in order to call and receives calls all around Europe? Because I don´t understand how it works.
Besides If I buy a passport or simply use an A la Carte when I will be outside Greece in other country ¿They charge you for the incoming sms?

In Europe you NEVER pay for incoming sms

I'm surprised that Vodafone has limited the time you can use pasport in most countries. In the Netherlands there is no limit. Although I think that they have a fair use policy somewhere.
With the Dutch vodafone card you will pay 79 cent for an incoming call on a vodafone network and 99 cent on a non vodafone network in a country that is a passport country.
Outgoing calls are 79 or 99 cent plus your normal tarif, which is for normal prepiad 25 cent/minute for calls to the Nethlands and the country you are in.

I have just noticed that Vodafone Spain are now also extending Vodafone passort for roaming in USA, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Russia and China... although it is at a higher supplement of €2.49 per call rather than €0.99. Interesting as some of these countries are not "caller-pays" countries. (e.g. USA)
See: http://www.vodafone.es/particulares/...port/index.jsp
I presume it applies equally to prepaid as well as contract.

Is this available on other countries Vodafone tariffs? There is still no mention of this on the UK Vodafone website.

Just seen Greece has it too... though they have slightly different countries including USA, UAE, China and South Africa:

Vodafone Hungary charges the cca. 299 HUF (now a bit more than 1 EUR) connection fee each 10 minutes started...

When in 2007 they changed from the once-per-call to this once-every-10-minutes plan, I unsubscribed from this "saver". It might still be an option outside the EU though.
