Thanks for all the information, folks. At the moment Reliance looks like the best option; I only wish they had plans with validity longer than 30 days -- if I have to pay them ever month I may as well get a postpaid connection! Right, so now: which Linux-compatible data card? I presume it makes sense to buy your own data card and use the telco's SIM in that? Incidentally, Vikas, you kids don't realise that at my advanced age, getting used to a new phone's functions is no trivial exercise. I'm going to run this Nokia 5800 into the ground before starting the pains of switching to a new phone, user interface, phonebook format, etc!
