Vodafone extends $5/day roaming to South Korea, Russia
By David Flynn, November 7 2018
IN BRIEF | Vodafone has added 11 countries to its already-extensive $5/day global roaming deal, which lets travellers tap into the data allowance of their domestic mobile phone plan when overseas.
The most significant destinations for Australian business travellers are South Korea and Russia; the rest of the roster includes Armenia, Cambodia, Colombia, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
Sadly, there's still no $5/day coverage for the UAE, home to the Dubai and Abu Dhabi hubs of Emirates and Etihad Airways.
This extension brings Vodafone's $5/day roaming service to a total of 80 countries, which combined represent nearly 70% of the world’s population.

Fantastic! Mexico on the list. Very happy with Vodafone's service in Aus and abroad. Excellent for travellers.

Yes I'm glad that Mexico is on the list. My wife racked up a $200 charge on data usage last month when visiting her family.

Meanwhile a 1 min call in Singapore with Telstra will set you back $5 (if you don't sign up for the $10 day pass)

This is good but what the reason for no UAE, is there an explanation?

China has been part of Vodafone $5 roaming for years.
