Frequently Asked Questions

Can foreigners get a SIM in India?

Foreigners can purchase Indian SIMs but must provide a passport, visa, and local address — a process that can take 24–48 hours for verification. A travel eSIM purchased internationally before arrival is far simpler and activates immediately.

Does eSIM work in Rajasthan and other tourist areas?

Major tourist circuits — Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Mumbai, Goa, Kerala, and Rajasthan's main cities — have solid 4G coverage. Very remote areas and some hill stations may have weaker signals. Download offline maps for rural journeys.

How much data do I need for India for two weeks?

India has excellent app-based services for transport (Ola, Rapido), food (Swiggy, Zomato), and payments (UPI). Regular use of maps and these apps consumes around 3–5 GB per week. Budget accordingly and consider a larger plan if you use video calls frequently.
