I will be staying in Hyderabad, India this summer and I need a good quality and reliable cell phone service that I can purchase in the US and take with me to use while staying in India. I need to be able to make calls reliably back to the US. Any information is appreciated.

Answer:
hi! know your concerns but tell me do u want something which is expensive? why do u want to use service which has been bought in US ? it'll be better & cheaper to sign up in India- hyderabad. currently some of service providers are selling special calling cards whereby u just end up paying Rs 2/ min to US. tata indicom & reliance are providing cheap international calls. they are reliable too! as far as handsets are concerned u can either buy them as part of service else buy from market. they are quite cheap as well. reliance is now offering handsets for as low as Rs 777 (they just sold a million sets in 2-3 days). to the best of my info any service which is on roaming will be more expensive so don't buy from us. buy in india! what's the big deal of buying in us only? just for ur info: 1$= approx. Rs 43. so Rs 2 means less than 5 cents!!! can any US service provider match this ???? none!

Both Cingular (AT&T) and T-Mobile will work in India. Most of the other US providers use a technology that does not work in most places outside of the US. I have found that using my Cingular phone outside of the US has worked great. A good way to do some web-based research is using the site www.gsmworld.com. On the site you will find pdf maps of cell coverage and also roaming partners for all of the companies that use the GSM cell technologies (in US, Cingular & T-Mobile). Overseas charges will likely run anywhere from $1 and upwards depending on where you are calling from. Another nice feature that may be useful for you if you have a phone from Cingular or T-mobile is the option of purchasing a prepaid sim card in India. You simply slide it into your phone (usually in a slot under the battery) and you instantly have a local phone number. I looked into this last summer when I was in the Czech Republic and found it to be simple and affordable. If you decide you want to do this, be sure you call your provider before you leave and ask them if you will need to "unlock" your phone to accept a sim card from another provider. Also, you may want to read some instructions from your provider about using your phone outside the USA, there may be an extra button, or two you will need to push when making a call.

Why do you want to buy a cell phone service from US?These are extremely cheap over here-you can try hutch(myself being an Indian with a Hutch connection,I often make calls to my uncle who lives in Virginia,US),Airtel,Tata Indicom or Reliance,Idea services-these are the best in India and the call charges are dirt cheap for you guys who come from US.So,just come over here and buy any one of these.Trust me,they will be much cheaper comparatively.
