Restrictions on Purchasing SIMs in India?

Stu · 29-01-2007, 14:33

Ugh. I have a wallet full of sims but nothing that doesn't roam and at least Euro1 a minute. I didn't appreciate just how new these rules are. I've looked at the Hutch and Orange forms and it is not entirely clear that I am legally entitled to purchase a SIM. I have a 10 year multiple entry visa into India which permits me to stay six months at a time. I'm going to try and get through it with this. I e-mailed Hutch tonight and will see if I can get a favorable response. I've prepared Orange and Hutch forms. I will also prepare a form for Airtel. I will bring pictures of myself, a pritt glue stick, and will pray, but I think I'm screwed.
