Their are two things you will need.. one of them is in your control the other is not Here are your options, If you brought your Iphone4 from the AT&T store your in luck... all you would need to do is sign up for their International "Roaming" service but even then the local carriers in india would need their hardware compatible with the phone in which I have NO IDEA on what the situation is over there as in the towers and other hardware they have Situation Two: You brought the Iphone 4 online or from a 3rd party Electronics dealer such as Best Buy or other Department Store such as Walmart... In this case It would be "unlocked" and you would have to purchase a "SIM" card which is a "Flash" card like thingy that has the "Firmware" and other proprietary software that tells the cellphone how to connect and operate on it's specific network without that special card your Iphone4 is pretty much dead with maybe the plausible exception of Wifi So if you buy a SIM card in India your cellphone will ONLY WORK IN INDIA So, in short, It would be best to have this thing brought at AT&T as they have the "Technical Know-how" and will be able to fix you up in a jiffy Hope this helped J.D.
