The telecom provider has tapped into pivotal points of the city such as BBD Bag, Park Street, Alipore, Ballygunge, Salt Lake Sector 5, Airport and EM bypass. As per Vodafone, the roll-out will be completed across all parts of Kolkata by June 2016 in a phased manner.

In addition to this, Vodafone also claims to be the first telecom provider to facilitate 4G international roaming in the UK, Germany, Romania, Spain and Netherlands to its existing customer base.
