Mobile connectivity
Including Veer Savarkar Park in your Andaman itinerary and spending some time there is definitely a good idea. However, you should know well in advance that mobile connectivity is a major concern for tourists visiting the islands. Most of the networks don’t function properly here and those that work offer very basic services. Some of the issues that you may face on the islands regarding network connectivity include call drop, bad network, not being able to download applications, etc. But it is seen that BSNL provides better service than other networks in the Andaman Islands. So it would be great if you carry a BSNL sim card with you while travelling here. Carry extra sim cards if you need to.
