Indian Practices

This was the first thing myself and +Chuck Croll was discussing. We named it "Country Talks." In India, buying a mobile phone connection :- SIM Card We go to Mobile Instrument Selling Store and buy an instrument. We go to Service Provider's store or to agent's store who has rights to provide a SIM Card connection. Here, we should fill out the form they give with a "Passport Size Photograph" and an Address/ID proof . Payment plans differ from service provider to service provider. So, we pay according to our plan. It also depends how we pay a cellphone connection . They give us a SIM Card with a 10 digit Number. It may be activated withing some half an hour.  Here foreigner differs from Indian during address proof submission only. 

There are two ways :- Pre Paying. Post Paying. They are called in their way.

An address proof / ID proof is one which should be issued by government. A major address proof used in India is Ration Card.
