recieving sms is never charged by any network anywhere in any case...so rest assured...and its not 49 but its 25 bux deduction on prepaid...and will be done only if u move out of maharashtra or goa...u'll keep recieving sms as updates....btw, happy journey

Airtel does not charge for roaming on prepaid cards if u r going to roam within
the western region (maharashtra, goa n may b gujrat)

I think roaming charge will be more than STD rate on your phone. So it is better to call other in roaming........
