Hi, I'm an Australian resident who'll be travelling to bali in November. I have just connected my mobile phone to international roaming so that I can use my phone overseas. My telephone provider has sent me heaps of confusing information about rates etc... which I don't understand. Apparently there are three carriers in Indonesia (excelcomindo, satelindo and telkomsel). The information I have been sent says that it costs $7.09 to make an international call to Australia from my mobile, plus an administration charge. However, they have failed to tell me if it is $7.09 per minute, 30 secs etc?? or how much the administration charge is. Can anyone help me on these questions? How much does it cost to make mobile phone calls, or have you experienced it to be very expensive to make mobile phone calls? Also what is the mobile phone service like in Indonesia?
