Getting an Indian cell phone is becoming harder with new anti-terror laws in effect and residency is often required. It is advisable to bring with you a cell phone that is unlocked to work on any network.
You can use your GSM cell phone internationally, but it is cheaper to buy a local SIM card (this is the chip that gives you phone service). A store assistant at a cell phone store can unlock your cell phone to enable you to use an Indian SIM card but it is more reliable to do so at home before you go.
