Although slow, the hotel is offering WIFI now. However, we strongly encourage you to take this opportunity to “unplug.” If this is not possible, here are some alternatives we can suggest in case you need a backup:
Several local telephone/internet carriers are located in the international arrivals area of Terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Inquire about options and cost at Airtel, Vodafone or Idea upon arrival in India. You may also want to do some research in advance to know what your options are and what you may want to get, if any.
- You can get a 3G WI-FI DONGLE with a DATA card to use into any USB port and create your own wi-fi zone. Check the different internet/phone providers mentioned above and their packages, and see which one suits you best. You can also get a dongle with more than one data card to expand your connectivity possibilities.
- You can agree with your roommate and get one dongle and data card to share. With a dongle you are creating a wi-fi hotspot that may support up to 5 devices. Please check the different provider websites to learn more.
- You can get a SIM card with DATA to use with your mobile (if unlocked).
NOTE: for each dongle, data or sim card you purchase, you need to provide a copy of your passport, visa and a passport photo to the retail shop where you are buying it. This will be sent to the internet provider company. It is a way the country has to keep a record of the tourists.
