One word of caution when using agents. The process of receiving the
account may be delayed when you go through the agents. As, they usually try to collect a
few forms to take them for processing. Also, you are supposed to receive some support
after you get an VSNL account from the agent, but lot of reports are there that they do
not provide any support. So Beware.
