Prepaid Cell Phone Worries

Prepaid Cell Phone Worries
 
I have this AIS or One Two Talk SIM Card from Thailand. I left the card in my phone and when I arrived in both Kathmandu, Nepal, and Delhi, India the cell phone has a signal. I use the cell phone as both a watch and an alarm clock, therefore I like to keep is on.
 
Nevertheless, here in Delhi I received a text message from the AIRTEL Company.
I do not trust Cell Phone Companies.
How much did that cost?
 
The cost of roaming is extreme; one call would cost the same as new SIM card? There is an annoying shell game performed by cell companies, hidden and perpetuated because of the McDonalds need for convenience brain society and prone to any temptations.
 
I want convenience, but transparency of cost is first.
 
I ask many people the cost. If they do not just reply, I leave.

I am not sure about Thailand or India but I do know that outside the USA if you have a prepaid cell phone card all incoming things are free. This is most likely not true in a roaming situation but I have a prepaid phone from Rio here in Rio and if someone calls or sends me a text it is free. I also know that a text directly from the network you are in is also free. Only way to find out is to check the balance before and after you receive something...Robert BurnsThe Prudent Travelerhttp://www.prudenttravel.com
