UK roaming costs are very high in India. The obvious solution seems to be to get an Indian SIM.
However! This is not so easy.
First make sure your phone is unlocked...
Then.... you need your passport, a passport photo and a "permanent" address in India.
We trailed around 3 shops today before anyone was prepared to offer "Foreign Nationals" a sim card.
All credit to our driver Sumil who steered us in the right direction, albeit the wrong way up dual carriageways, car abandoned in the road etc etc (Indian driving is a whole new concept!
However we now have got the Sims and await activation. Costs are great - approx £8 for 3 MONTHS unlimited calls/data.
cf with £1.80/minute on UK plan or £6.00/day roaming charge.
