I never heard of any problems with customs. A couple of friends brought their laptop last year without a problem.

But , wireless, I think we're talking flying elephants now. I doubt it. There was something a while ago where they were using bluetooth and a mobile phone. Have a look back at the threads ,only a few weeks ago.

There is broadband, how fast I'm not sure.I use the local internet cafes on occassions, mainly for important things like the football results.

A few questions...

Which mobile company are you using?

How is the speed of the connection?

Are there any download limits?

Easy to get / good signal?

Thanks

Sim card has to be Airtel,yearly one,33OO RPS
Connection speed ...... 115.2 KPs Dial up
No download limits,but so so slow you would not want to do to much :wink:
Different areas at different times of day can be faster or slower.
Good for e mails but can be slow if sending pics.
getting on here with the lap top is pretty good,but some forums very slow.
Think for 15 rps a day 24 hrs good value over the 5 months we are here.

Thinking of taking my battered old laptop with me next month and leaving it over there for a friend to use and its there when i come back next year.

Is there any indian red tape :rofl about taking a laptop into Goa and then not leaving with it.

Could it go in my suitcase? or would it have to be hand luggage, could it go in the hold as part of total baggage allowance

If anyone can forsee any other problems can you let me know

Took mine last year so we could see the pictures and movies we took that day when back at the hotel. Had no problems and they didn't record it entering or exiting the country.
