Mobile and Internet Connectivity in Uttarakhand
7-8 years ago, the mobile and internet connectivity in Uttarakhand was not so good. But, with the advancement in technology and growing mobile/computer-based needs of people residing in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand, the telecom companies improved their services and today most of the places in Uttarakhand are very well connected with good mobile networks and internet..
Almost all the telecom operators are providing good mobile and internet connectivity at all the major cities, towns and villages. However, when you are travelling to some interior place or travelling from one city or town to another, sometimes you may encounter network issues on the way but, otherwise, there is hardly any problem with the networks.
Tourists who want to purchase sim cards from Uttarakhand can purchase the same from the main big cities but it may take a few days for the number to activate. So, it is better to purchase the sim cards from international airports, as those sim cards don’t take much time in getting activated.
