I've got an MTNL SIM card that I pop into my mobile before landing in BOM and the phone is good to go. Added benefit of all my contacts in India having my local number, which doesn't change from trip to trip
Yeah, I'm trying to disconnect a postpaid MTNL card we have had for years and not used, but they are refusing to disconnect it!

Offered only to make it a prepaid one - may have to go this route...
