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.
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units |
