I am going to spend a few weeks in the US in June and decided to see if I could rent a cell phone in India which would work in the US. Matrix provides such a service.
The rental is $30 for the handset. This includes 400 minutes of talk time ( 150 Peak) and after that 30 cents/min for outgoing within US and on all incoming. Outgoing calls to India are 99 cents per minute.
I will use the phone rarely so I think I will end up paying Matrix $30. Maybe I could get a slightly cheaper deal in the US but I am pretty positive the difference would not be much
What I liked was that they gave me a full kit with charger/handset and an adapter plug for US sockets.
This was the second time I used their service ( first was for Europe where they just give you SIM cards).
What was not so good was that even though I was a returning customer they did not have me/my data on file so they again had to take paperwork etc.
As a customer if I find a product well designed I will post it as I think we all could use better products.

Deepak,
I will continue posting/responding . I have been rather busy with travel coming up so I shall start active posting again in July. I hope others will continue to post as well.
LTLRC,
I think that comment is uncalled for. I have no problem with the content of this post – it is a way an offering is currently structured and makes on think. I don’t know how you are being forced to read this post, and why you can’t just stop.
Spare us your friends details and yours please, I would ask you all to prove that all those that talk about Sanjay’s Paypal presence, easily available by a simple google search, are lying. I have a feeling it’s you and your friends that are. You cast libellious accusations on Sanjay’s character and remain an anonymous coward – and I’ll take your words in that context.
Has this comment stopped people from posting? Nothing on this blog for the last three days or so – not common. Stay with it guys, ignore the bozos.
Hi
Are you commimg to boston,Let me konw so we can meet
Long time,
Thank you for spending the time to write this comment. If there are more who feel as you do I wish they would comment as well.
I agree that my rants ( as you put it) may be boring to some and I would encourage other readers such as yourself to write as you have if they want me to stop.
I would be happy to stop as the only reason I post is to provoke some thinking and to learn from each others points of view. In case I have an opportunity to personally benefit from what I write I am careful to point that out. For instance I have no association with Sansung/Matrix except as a customer.
To me using personal experiences/anecdotes is useful but I agree it could bore people ( get a life I have heard this story a 100 times already) .
As for sparing readers of VW such as yourself unfortunately RSS does not have an ignore filter ( maybe someone will create one) so that you could ignore me and I could ignore you.
Till that happens I suggest you use a simple solution which is do a mental ignore. I am going to do that with you.
“As a customer if I find a product well designed I will post it as I think we all could use better products.”
of course you will post and we are subscribing to RSS of this Blog to hear your sermons only isn’t it ?? what do you think this page is a product recommendation engine ?
haven’t you learned anything from Lalwani-scorpio thing happend sometime back here at VW . or you think the audience will spare you cause you have creared some elephants . honestly i talked to some gys in paypal some early ppl . no one knows you . but that’s none of my biz .
Sanjay ,
this is not a place to carry out personal moral ritual . why do you think any one would be interested in your rants . this is a blog about Biz/Idea and stuff . not your Personal confession box . can you talk about anything beyond your plasma TV , Your Stint at PayPal and your Proverbial white Elephants .
go get some life in us . spare the readers of VW .
