How to Use your US phone for calls etc while in India?

[Futuremaang]

I want to use my phone while I'm in India while traveling and probably buy an international travel plan from airtel etc. I'm not sure if that can be accomplished. How do you guys manage this? Please share some ideas and suggestions.

Been doing this for last 8 months ..move ur number to google voice for $20 and then in India use google voice  along with Indian number here ..no need to pay anything  I get all calls and text messages

T-mobile,  as an app called 'Digits' it works in india without any additional plan or cost. all incoming/outgoing/text/vm - as if you are in mainland US.

I'm using t mobile currently and my phone has an option to add an esim mobile plan. Should I buy this esim from Tmobile or can I chose a provider in India

google voice

US Phone number -> call forwarding to Google voice number 

when in india, get a high internet plan for your phone.....receive all the call from US thro your google voice

and you can make calls to US thro google for free
