I'm not living with beliefs, I'm living with actual facts and experience. I never said it worked every time, only and idiot or weak debater would jump to such a conclusion to try and make their point.

And the people whom I referred to did not all sucessfully procure their SIM in Delhi, as I mentioned I got mine in Mumbai, others in Bangalore and yet others in Kolkata. Granted, CITIES.

I'm sorry you had such trouble with your experience trying to obtain and successfully use a SIM in India - it CAN be confussing and technically challenging.

My objective in delivering another perspective (and indeed SEVERAL other experiences) was so the readers of this thread would have a more realistic understanding of

A) how it CAN work
B) how it CAN be simple
C) what THEY should do to be prepared and increase the chances of successful procurement and functional operation.
D) provide the experiences and online resources for others to increase probability of a successful "C"


you have done a good job in indicating that things CAN go wrong and anecdotally what they might NOT wish to do in order for them to have better success with procurement and possibly usage.

I'll agree with you here on one thing, I'm out.
