To understand the charging better please refer to the example below:
While Roaming in USA on the Cingular network, if you go to www.yahoo.co.in your handset will download the Yahoo home page. The size of the page would be about 400KB.
The charges for data usage on International Roaming are flat Rs5.50 / 10KB. Hence for downloading 400KB the charge would be Rs220.
