Go to a vodaphone store with your passport photocopies and a color photo sim will be issued and activated in a day to 36 hrs. time.
You pay Rs 99 per month in advance? How are they going to billl you if your stay outside India extends beyond the period you have already paid for?
How often do you have to send an SMS? DO you have to go to a Vodaphone store every time you return to India? It sounds like
You do not have to provide proof of address?

I did not get a vodaphone this time. I have an IDEA. How do you keep IDEA SIM alive?
