Appreciate the effort, but none of those links says anything about 3G or iPhone specifically.
Vodafone and Airtel are two of the biggest GSM carriers there. The have prepaid SIM cards and they will work in any unlocked phone with a SIM tray, including iPhones. The iPhone 4S can access Vodaphone's 3G network where it is available. Since you didn't post which cities you'll be in, I can't confirm if it is a 3G or 2G area.
Between the two, I would say Vodafone has better 3G coverage. Been using Vodafone in India for years. They have both micro and nano sims available at any of their stores.
I'm sure of it. But this is India we're talking about. When a white guy walks up sometimes that $2 SIM suddenly becomes $20. Even my brown in-laws get this, cause their non-local accent gives them away.
A few more questions for ya....so is it possible to get an account and order prepaid services from here? Or can it only be done in person upon arrival. Looking at their prepaid 'plans', I can't understand what's going on. It's a real mess with a million choices. Is it sort of an a-la-cart thing over there where you pick what you want for talk, data, text etc individually?U won't go wrong with either Vodafone or Airtel. Both are good. Rates are similar. Just pick one that comes on your way
Agreed. I've been to Thailand and South Korea and have experienced that first hand.
E I'm convinced, either you are brilliant, very old and experienced or a master google searcher lol good job! This is why after all these years I keep returning to this forum, great people like Naps and E.
Let me assure you that she's much younger than I am (hubba, hubba!) and she's definitely a Google search master.
I know. It wasn't Google at the time, but I honed my search skills in the 90s while building my first computers from scratch. It was probably AltaVista.
My first build from the ground up was in 2001, played around with water cooled systems, over clocking and finally came to the dark side and went to Mac. All I do now a days is fix pcs for family and friends! Before google I used msn and yahoo.
It has to be done in person as you would need to give your identity proof.
