Hi,
I will be in India in a couple of weeks. What is the best Pay as you talk SIM card to purchase over there?
And what are the costs of texting to the UK & USA?
Thanks

The best bet would be to go with Airtel prepaid. The network has pan-india presence and they're quite good.
Texting to any foreign country is 5 rupees per text (i think) .
For comparison, 1 US $ = around 47 rupees.
