Pre-paid SIM card to buy with internet?
Hi all,
I will go to India - more exactly to Pune ends of July.
I need to buy a pre-paid SIM card in order to reduce phone costs.
I need to be connected to internet with my wifi at my nokia and use my messenger during the day.
How much it will cost a week of internet with my phone or if is there a package offer of a operator?
I read about Vodafone but I could not get offers or compare with others.
Which sim card you will advice me? how much I will pay?
Many Thanks

It wont be more than a few hundred rupees (@ around 50 rupees to a dollar). You need 2 passport sized photos and a photocopy of your ID.
You cant order it over the internet - but you can buy it at any convenience store.. and the airport will probably have a store where you can buy a sim card.
Buy airtel or vodafone sims - they are the providers with the largest network around india. Prices are about the same, service quality is about the same. Vodafone has cuter ads (with a cute pug, etc - search for vodafone india or "hutch" ads on youtube)
