This thing of saving the translations paid off. So at least I wasn't as bad in predicting but I still failed to estimate the free quota's limitations.

I have been thinking of doing this for a while. Thanks for sharing https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign . Is that all one needs (whatever if mentioned on the README)?

I agree. India in general is a poor country. I don't give a rat's * where they bring it from if I can get a device just to play with for 35 bucks. You don't get a phone that cheap in contract from T-mobile in USA. Plus I hope that people
