Thread: want to know if ipad 3g from US will work in Kerala, India

want to know if ipad 3g from US will work in Kerala, India?
If so, which company, I heard IPAD 3g already is unlocked but I guess this is only for all SIM (GSM) providers in the US alone.

And I think all of the providers do not have 3g services in Kerala, I think that BSNL 3g is available, want to confirm this if it is available in Kerala.

For IPAD 3g assuming BSNL 3g is available in Kerala, will it work right off the bat, is the BSNL 3g SIM the MicroSim used in the US for IPAD and IPhone 3g?
I heard if not, normal SIM can be made into MicroSIM by cutting, who provides this cutting service in India, especially Thrissur, Kerala, India?

Does the IPAD 3g need to be unlocked to work on BSNL 3g?
Since it comes Factory unlocked, though only for US networks, presumably, but no one ever tested this that I know of, so will it work right off the bat in Kerala, ie. Thrissur, Kerala?

Really appreciate you guys' help on this.

Also, whats the best home broadband service in Thrissur, Kerala, India?
Regards,
Pranit
