How long does it take to buy a SIM card in India?

I work in India, and I just asked my Indian employee to apply for 2 SIM cards the day before yesterday.

First, you need to fill in an application form, which can be obtained at any sales point.

Then prepare a copy of your passport, visa, Indian ID card, and a 1-inch photo.

After I prepared these materials, the employee got the SIM card back on the same day.

Then you need to recharge at least 100 rupees to activate the SIM card. At this time, the card can only receive calls but cannot make calls. If you need to make a call, recharge at least 50 rupees.

The key point is to keep the phone turned on for at least 3 months. It is said that the phone company will call from time to time to verify the user's information. If the phone is turned off or cannot be connected multiple times, the phone company will deactivate the SIM card. Several cards I had applied for in the past were destroyed like this, and there were still a lot of phone bills in them that were wasted, ugh...

List of fees for applying for a SIM card in New Delhi on July 14, 2009 (I used Airtel): The SIM card fee is 100 rupees, and the activation recharge is 100 rupees. The current ratio of RMB to rupee is 1:7.

The future phone bill will depend on how much you recharge, but it is recommended to start with less Charge a little to avoid being shut down. You will never get your money back no matter what! Keep it in mind and wish you well. I don’t want to divide it, I just want to be helpful to you.
