Calling Home From India

JMJJMJ
in A Portrait of India
Hello All,

I don't have a cell phone - I know it sounds crazy but it's true - anyway I do need to call home when I am on my Tauck India tour in December and was wondering what some others might have done who don't have a cell phone? Any time I have traveled to Europe I have purchased phone cards and used them from the hotel phone in my room and found it to be a very easy and inexpensive way to keep in touch with those at home. I'm just not sure if they have phone cards in India to purchase and where do I purchase them? I have contemplated getting some kind of cell phone but I feel a little intimated by what to purchase and not sure how expensive it is to call home with any of the plans out there.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - especially if you have used a phone card in India.

Thank you!

    I'm not sure about phone cards. Likely your best bet is just to call from hotel room and pay the hotel charges for the calls. There are a number of different cell carriers in India, and depending on which city your in the cell phone will pick one or another. Probably not worth getting a cellphone for just this trip unless your having to make many and long calls.

    I just got back from the Spotlight tour and it was great. Have a terrific trip - its really great!
