I assume your in india, having delhi listed as a stop?

I have to say, my experience earlier this year in india was quite different. I had no problem picking up a 3G SIM and it was very cheap, I think 15$ for the card and 30 days of 2GB worth of data. (I think the prepay data charge was like 5$ for the month) Took about 10 minutes, came in a little packet that had the apn infor on it/in it. When put in an unlocked cell phone, the APN info came up as it acquired network, when I put it into the dongle I had brought, i had to put the APN in but then it worked fine.

I had 3G in most cities of course and then some random places like Ranthambor (sp) but mostly 2G along motorways and some smaller out of city locations, but skype till worked from the cell phone fine. In delhi, mumbai, jodhpur, jaipur and agra I used it to stream netflix, from slingbox and do skype calls and also had about four devices connected to my mobile router so the bandwidth seemed to work fine for that.

Which carrier did you use? I used TATA
