Guide to Using Your International Cell Phone in India
In today’s world, most travelers aspire to use their cell phones while visiting India, as smartphones are practically indispensable. Given that India’s mobile network operates on a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) protocol, it is essential to note that this is different from the CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) protocol used by some carriers in the United States. GSM is adopted by AT&T and T-Mobile, whereas Verizon and Sprint utilize CDMA. Consequently, simply bringing your cell phone may not suffice.
