India Limits Foreign Visitors Using SIM Cards to Just Three Months
Published on:
India's mobile networks have been instructed that they cannot provide local phone services to foreign visitors for more than three months. The move is claimed to be a clamp down on unspecified abuse of SIM Cards.
Any foreign visitor to the country wanting to use a local SIM card in order to avoid roaming costs will need to provide their passport and Visa before being allowed to purchase a SIM Card, and the account has to be limited to the expiry date of the Visa, or no more than three months at the most.
It was said that there were unspecified abuses of accounts by customers after they left the country, although no evidence was provided about the scale of the problem to justify the clamp-down.
