The phone was partially activated within 24 hours, because by Saturday I could check my balance with the phone, and just couldn’t make or receive calls. As you say, it’s very cheap: that price included 200 minutes of talk time at Rs 1 per minute (2.5 cents) vs 30 cents per minute on my Virgin pre-paid in Canada. Plus, it claims to roam internationally.

It was much simpler in mumbai. Phone was activated in less than an hour. The problem was when we went to Delhi we couldn’t refill the card as they didn’t have the same dealers! If you travel somewhere make sure your card has enough money, at least we couldn’t use the credit card to fill up the card :-(.
You have to admit though, its so much cheaper than here. It was 10 paisa/text message and in canada I pay 15cents/text message.
