Firstly, Amazon India is selling Airtel and Vodafone postpaid SIM cards, meaning you can get a new Airtel or Vodafone postpaid connection at your doorstep itself. Although Airtel is officially offering doorstep new postpaid connections, Vodafone is not yet offering any delivery of SIM cards.

So, you can now get a new Airtel postpaid connection right from Amazon itself. Currently, four Airtel myPlan Infinity postpaid plans of Rs. 499, Rs. 799, Rs. 1199, and Rs. 1599 are listed online, and Vodafone's RED postpaid plans of Rs. 499, Rs. 699, Rs. 999, Rs. 1699, Rs. 1999, and Rs. 2999.

While purchasing Airtel postpaid connection, Amazon is asking Rs. 200 as a security deposit, while Vodafone new postpaid connection costs Rs. 15. Also, Amazon promises free delivery of SIM card and that too within 24 hours.
