Hi,
I am from Tamilnadu. Soon I’ll be relocating to Bangalore. I had a really hard time in Hyderabad when I tried to buy prepaid GSM sim card. I tried more than ten stores, and all of them demanded “local” id proofs. Sim cards will be given only to people who belong to that state (BSNL ppl said you can get one by producing letter from HR of your company). But when I asked is there any specific rule laid out, no one gave a direct answer. Finally, I managed to get one in my friend’s name. Is it the same situation still? Can I get it in my own name or should I request my friends circle now itself?
Thanks in advance.
I moved to bangalore three years back. At that time I submitted ID proof of my hometown (AP) and just written my local bangalore room address and got the sim. If you go for post paid then you required local address.
thanks for posting dealsnatcher bro… yes I too bought sim easily three years ago… but I heard that from 2011 it is not possible to give any state id proof… But this happened in 2011 and in AP. I dunno about Karnataka…
I moved bangalore in May
I submitted my hometown ID proof and didnt get any problem. I m using Docomo 
Hey thanks #DJ# bro… that is very helpful, I will check it out myself… karmas to both of you
My brother moved to bnglr arnd an year back and he easily got a new docomo sim just by showing the Rent Deed/agreement which he got from the landlord
Got a TN bsnl prepaid card only after giving them a letter from the officer in charge
May be due to national security now a days more verification before giving way SIM card.
What about Aadhaar card ??
Hey thanks guys… am going in two weeks and post the status here… @invisible007249 bro, I don have a good feeling about aadhar card… I did not apply for that card and not in near future…
Try simkart.in they deliver the sim in 2 hours.
