In India on your normal cell phone you pay a massive 2 cents (NZ) per minute. Cell phones and cellular internet in the country are such a rip off it's criminal. Mind you so are normal household broadband charges.

Except the UMTS network cover will be tiny and most of it will be roaming on Voda, and everything I here about the 3rd player suggests they are the New Zealand Knights of the Telecommunications industry.

Get an Optus p/pay handset, unlock it (which they're happy to do) then your in business - at whatever plan you want to be on...
