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.
