I thought Africa (East to be specific) was supposedly backwards technologically, I do get 3G there...and Indian was supposed to be forefront as far as tech is concerned. Anyways, I would imagine GSM would be available in the remotest of areas in India as it is now in most parts of E.Africa, No?
Intention was to highlight the need for a GSM modem, not actual availability of it.
Please respond to the original poster if you have further info on availability.
