How NRIs in the Gulf Can Buy an Indian VIP Number, Step by Step
Last updated: By Noushad, Kerala Fancy Number
You can choose and pay for an Indian VIP number from anywhere in the Gulf. The one step that must happen in India is KYC at an authorised operator store, done by the person who will be the registered owner.
Step by step
- Choose a number on our website and message us on WhatsApp to confirm availability and price.
- Pay by UPI (if you have an Indian account) or bank transfer.
- Receive the UPC within 2–24 hours, along with your invoice.
- The registrant — a family member in India, or you during a visit — completes KYC at an authorised operator store with original Aadhaar.
- Activation follows: Jio Prepaid instantly; other networks 3–5 working days; BSNL 7 working days.
Whose name is the number in?
The person who completes KYC is the registered owner. If a family member registers it, any later transfer to you needs operator approval, an eligible relationship and supporting documents.
