Making calls from these booths in India or abroad is much cheaper than from the hotel room of the tourists. There is always an attendant for assistance since these booths are not automatic. Its important to insist on a print out of the call charges which is printed by itself once the call is over and cradle is back on the telephone. The call duration and call charges are shown on a separate digital screen. If there is power cut, which is not unusual, one has to decide either to trust the telephone operator for the told charges or wait till the next telephone booth if calls are not that urgent.

For  their convenience, the tourists can buy the SIM CARD  for their mobiles from India itself so that they do not need to stop at a telephone booth to make calls. In order to get the same, an identification proof is required to be shown by the tourists.
