Who is your carrier network provider? Vodafone, O2, etc.
Thank you very much for your patience! To use your phone in India, you have two options available. First, you can contact your current SIM provider (Vodafone) and have them activate/enable an International Roaming package on your existing SIM card/account. This will let you use your existing SIM with your number overseas, so you don't have to buy a new local SIM card when you get there. This is the recommended option if you don't want to change your number when you are there and this will also let you send/receive texts, use the internet, make or receive calls, etc. But international roaming packages are costly.

The second option is, contact your carrier network/SIM provider(Vodafone) and have them unlock your phone for international use (if it is not unlocked already). This will let you use a buy and use local SIM card when you get there. Internet, SMS, calls, etc. would be a lot cheaper on this option. This would be a better option if you are staying there for more than a week or two. Even if you are choosing Option 1, I'd recommend having your phone unlocked in case you face any issues with your current number there. I hope this answers your question.
