Buying CHEAP CELL PHONE DATA in INDIA (+4GB wifi)

Фильм және анимация

Thinking of traveling to India but unsure how you will get service? The solution is easier than you think, despite the answer being tough to Google.
Here are the steps:
1) Buy a sim card from an Indian cell company - Airtel or Jio (you'll know my opinion); select a monthly pre-paid plan
2) Swap out your sim card with the new one
3) Download WhatsApp

    Not a lot of people outside India know about this but all credit for cheap data goes to Jio Before jio came in 2016: 249 INR for 1 GB 3G data for a whole month and you have to pay separately for call/SMS After Jio: 249 INR for 1.5 GB 4G data per day for 28 days, also includes unlimited calling and SMS, ALSO includes access to Jio apps like JIo cinema, JIO music etc. When jio was first introduced, they actually gave away 1 year of unlimited calling/internet for FREE, i remember there used to be huge queues outside jio stores and it was very difficult to get a jio sim because everyone wanted one
