Many Vodafone users took to social media about inadvertently deducting Rs 99 from their mobile account balance towards 'International roaming rental for 30 days'.

A lot many users pointed out that they haven't been to abroad in the recent past, but still money had been deducted from their accounts.

Vodafone, however, clarified that due to a 'technical error', Rs. 99 has been erroneously charged from the account of its prepaid users, and while apologising for the stated ordeal, said that they are crediting the amount erroneously charged back to the prepaid balance.
