Internet Roaming in Indien
event_available 31/1/2024
India is a very exotic country and therefore very interesting for tourists. More and more Germans are flying to India to collect more impressions. However, the Internet connection is a problem. In a country far from home where you do not know the language and surroundings, you would at least want to have fast mobile Internet in order to be able to manage abroad. So what to do?
The easiest way would be to switch on roaming. But that would definitely bring a gigantic bill home. Roaming abroad can cost you up to several 1000 €. Nobody wants to risk that. Another option would be to obtain an online package or a SIM card from the Indian operator. Unfortunately there is also a catch here. If you have a SIM card e.g. Buy in Delhi, the card only works for that city. Such a card can also be very expensive, so if you are one of those people who don't need to be connected 24/7, we recommend that you use the HotSpot in public places in India. You can find them in restaurants, airports or train stations
Was ist Roaming?

Are you constantly reading roaming somewhere and don't really know what it is? Don't worry, we'll clear it up.
Every smartphone contains roaming. No matter if IOS or Android. You should always use it if you use your standard SIM card abroad to access the Internet. Regardless of whether the SIM card is in the smartphone or tablet.
However, if you connect to a public WiFi spot abroad, it is no longer roaming.
But roaming also has a small catch. Generally roaming costs. Unless you have a contract with your operator where roaming is included abroad. Otherwise, roaming can be very expensive. Especially outside of Europe! Roaming can cost up to several thousand euros.
For this reason, we recommend that you switch off roaming beforehand to avoid the high sums. Only switch it on when it is absolutely necessary. Call forwarding can also protect you from high costs when making calls abroad.
Why do I need Internet abroad?

Do you plan a unique trip to exotic Asia? Or maybe the destiny of your journey
is wild Africa? Wherever you go, the matter worth considering is if internet is
actually a necessary equipment of every successful trip. Many people can’t
imagine longer journey without permanent access to the Internet. Why? There are
at least several essential reasons, which can be used for an answer of this
question.
1. Safety
Travelling abroad is a
wonderful adventure and also an opportunity to rest among breathtaking views and
exotic faces. It is also a close encounter with something often completely
unknown – especially for people who are going to a foreign country for the
first time. No matter how carefully you plan your journey, unexpected
situations appear almost always (unless you don’t plan to leave your hotel J). Just a walk around the city can lead us to
entirely unknown location. At this time permanent internet access, as well as
possibility to look into the map or use GPS can be a salvation. For many people
Internet is a source of mental comfort, because it provides safety and also
offers many solutions of unexpected situations.
2. Contact with loved
ones
For everyone regular
contact with family members, beloved person or friends. Internet access enables
us to use mail, Facebook, Skype and other communicators, thanks to which you
can stay in touch with people important to you. Certainly, this is the argument
that will convince everyone. If only the trip is not a form of escape to the
other end of the world J.
3. Necessity
Some people can’t
afford to lose touch with the world for a week or two, or even for a whole
month. It applies even to people, who are forced to receive business mails
during the trip. Also for businessmen for whom foreign trips are a form of
work, constant access to the Internet is essential.
Nowadays, many people
have obligations that cannot be met without using the Internet. This also
applies to bloggers - during the journey they share their experiences with
loyal fans. And they want their relations to appear on a regular basis during
the trip.
4. Comfort
The Internet is also a
great help, and also helps save time, which seems extremely valuable on foreign
trips. Using the Internet, you can easily find interesting places to visit in a
foreign country, and you can also check where to eat. In just a few minutes it
is possible to compare available offers and read comments with opinions that
definitely facilitate the selection. Internet is also necessary to avoid
awkward and sometimes even rude situations. In exotic countries, even in Japan,
there are many customs that are completely incomprehensible to citizens of
other countries. Thanks to the Internet, you can check what's going on at any
time and thus avoid offending another person J
5. Entertainment
After an exhausting
day full of sightseeing and meeting new people, many people in the evening need
some time for themselves - to breathe and relax. For some, a form of relaxation
will be even reading a novel. In this case, internet access is not necessary.
However, if the form of rest is watching a movie, tracking new posts on the
forum or watching videos on YouTube - here the Internet is necessary.
