Phones for use in India
score:0
Accepted answer
It will probably be cheaper (and more fun) to buy an unlocked phone in India, and you'll have many options for phones which will synchronize with your computer or online accounts to load up your contacts. I bought an unlocked iphone 3gs for $400 there in 2011 (which was cheaper than in the US for the same phone at that time). There are also many Android, Windows OS, or Symbian OS phone options. I've also travelled to india bringing my own unlocked GSM phone, and getting a SIM card is easily done (although if you go to an official BNSL shop you may need your passport and papers from your hotel/residence to prove your address); SIM cards from street vendors is easiest.

Before you buy the phone, you should make sure:
- That it works with the appropriate frequency band, see e.g. this list. It seems that the default GSM frequencies in India are different than in Canada, so make sure your handset works with the Indian ones as well
- Make sure it comes without a SIM-lock
