You can certainly take your sim card to India and use it in any unlocked cell phone which has the correct radio for Indian cell phone operators. You will need to confirm with AT&T that they have international roaming agreements with an Indian GSM operator (but I strongly suspect that they do).

I have international service on my AT&T service. Will I be able to use that sim card on Motofone 3 in India?

Thanks.

This phone is EITHER GSM 850/1900 OR GSM 900/1800. It can be found from US-based Indian online retailers for USD 26. (free shipping, WHOO-HOO!), that’s about USD 5. more than the wholesale price. I don’t believe there’s a cheaper phone sold in the USA …

Why would you buy an UNLOCKED GSM 900/1800 phone? You’re traveling, and you want something you can afford to lose, or have stolen, or give away to someone less fortunate. This is a cool looking throwaway mobile, perfect for a backpacker’s trip, a gift to your cousin in Cuba, a phone that weighs nothing in your pocket. In short, if you travel abroad to any GSM 900 country, don’t ever pay roaming charges again, get one of these and a local SIM card – save yourself some money!

Thanks for the codes. I used to be a little annoyed by the voice prompt but didn’t know how to set it up without turning off the volume. But now I’ve got the Idea. Thank alot.
