Hehehe... I'm Practically living on roaming 190 days a year and my bill comes out to be Rs. 3000 (approx.) Thats less then $70 a month. India's SOOO Cheap (Hence all the outsourcing here
).

In countries with roaming agreements, India and Saudi Arabia is the most expensive.

It's like when I use my home network SIM and roam in Hong Kong or Singapore a phone call would cost me US$1.50 per minute while in India it would cost me US$2.20. An SMS message in HK or Singapore would cost US$0.26 while in India it cost me US$0.43 per text message sent.
That's almost double.
US roaming rates are even cheaper. T-mobile and Cingular charges US$0.69 per call while AT&T charges US$0.99. Outgoing text messages cost only US$0.20 at T-mobile and Cingular and US$0.30 at AT&T.
These prices were computed without their corresponding taxes and duties.
