Rent a cell phone for India from Cellular Abroad and get unlimited data for your trip to India. We offer virtually unlimited high-speed data anywhere and everyone in India. Please note that to make a call or text, you must use an app. You can use WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, or any other data-based app. You will receive the phone a few days before your trip so you can add any app you want via Wi-Fi (time permitting). We recommend Talkatone as you can also call landlines in the USA and Canada for free. Please note that you will need to rent an iPhone 6 or higher to be able to download most apps.
To rent a phone, simply select the phone rental you want, enter the departure and return dates, and check out. The rental will come with all chargers and plug adapters for your trip and a return package (if delivered to the US). You will receive the rental a few days before your departure. It will be ready to use as soon as you arrive in India.
Please note that, although it is standard policy in the cellular business to advertise the term, “unlimited”, there is a “Fair Usage Policy” that specifies caps at 10GB each 14 days of your rental, which is enough data for 99% of all travelers.
