Ask your travel agent to arrange for a reliance data card instead. I have used airtel data card before and its not a good choice.. Pages take ages to load and it frequently disconnects.

The best thing to go for is a reliance data card, ask your travel agent if he can arrange one for you on rent as many of them do that.

In that case if your phone is EDGE enabled then it will be a bit faster to load pages.
In India foreigners cannot get a new mobile phone connection by law.. You have to have a permanent address here in India to get a new connection so if you are relying on that please make prior arrangements.

Alright.. my bad.. I just checked with a dealer and he said its changed now and one can get a prepaid connection with an identity proof. The also sell them at the Delhi airport when you exit customs.. there is a stall on the left hand site when you come out of customs..

It does not take that much long as you are expecting. Just get a new connection ( i would suggest Airtel) and then ask the to activate GPRS right away and they would do it. Once it is done you are good to go with the GPRS connection.
