thanks a lot....was just making sure.so it's best advised to purchase SIMs from India itself....probably from the airport,eh?

it will be a while before we actually reach home during vacations as we are visiting some other places too...we just wanted to have at least two working mobiles to keep in touch.can we simply purchase the SIMs from India,get it sent here and can the activation be done at a later time?

i ask this coz a relative is coming here soon and if this is okay,i'll ask him to buy two sim cards and bring it.will get it activated at the time of travel.
