Very useful information. Well compiled ! About the 'roaming' part. Does this need to be 'activated' in Goa before the 'roam' commences or it is provided to all subscribers by default ?
Are you aware if this applies to a monthly subscription account and is it applicable to pre-paid connections as well ? Thanks for the valuable info.

(its cheaper for you any way). Most of us have mobile in GOA, but when you return back say to UK, make sure you leave a minimum balance of Rs.700 in your cell phone account and once u are arrived here, it automatically switched on to T-mobile (roaming facility). Now, your loved ones can contact you for free or just for a local call pirice. All they have to dial is the same GOA mobile number say 9822... You dont have to answer, 1. IF YOU DO... --It will cost you Rs.100 per minute (yr balance automatically reduced and u get a display message to show the cost of your call and balance). --It will cost your loved ones just a local call. 2. IF YOU DON'T --- it will cost you just Rs.7 per minute (by calling them back from your landline..) --- You know who is calling (or called) from the caller's ID display. --- It will cost nothing to your loved ones in GOA. Above is the simplest and cheapest way of contacting you right from their home. It works for me ... I have AT&T (IDEA) in GOA. Note: If you have one already here, you may have to buy another one (perhaps, a second hand) and keep it on/charged all the times with GOA sim card inside. thanks Joegoauk 1.33pence = Re.1 2.66p= Rs.2 3.99 = 3 5.32 =4 6.65 = 5 9.31 = 7 100=75 ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
