Is Vodafone UA serious about these roaming rates?

This SIM is the most curious product i've seen so far. I'm using it too right now. Italy, Turkey, Germany and Malta are confirmed. So you can be confident about NL and UK.

I just got an SMS message that France (probably on SFR) will be added on 1st of April. This is now mentioned on their website too. But as far I understand only for 7 days instead of the usual 30.

Vodafone UA is MTS (MTC in Russian) in disguise. And having a Russian mother is not so popular in some parts of the country right now. So they adopted the Vodafone brand. But it's MTS after all and all recharges made for MTS work on Vodafone UA too.

Another update: My monthly "roam like home package" ended today and I got a message in Ukrainian that even Google Translate could not understand. I loaded some UAH on the SIM before and could easily extend the roaming option by *600# for another month. This was confirmed instantly. At least, I guess, as Google is not much better in Ukrainian than I am

Thank you both for the updates. While I don't see myself needing this info in the near future,
I believe there are many lurkers who are very fascinated by this helpful information.

I look forward for more reports in the future from both of you.
