Very strange. It only shows current forum and Dec and before.
Here it is. I got this from the counter at Matahari and it's also in ther XL book. I got a printed receipt stating that the card is valid until end of July.
The Pro XL card costs 50.000 with 20.000 credit. It lasts for 1 month.
When you top up costs and times are as follows:-
10.000 7 days
25.000 15 days
50.000 30 days
100.000 90 days
200.000 180 days
300.000 180 days
This must be done electronically. Not with the scratchy card.
You also get an extra 30 days after this to renew it. You can receive calls in this time but can't make them.
Great idea to top up before you leave if you make frequent trips to Bali as you can retain your number.
Other cards are different. I was told another card (can't think of the brand) only lasts for 2 months no matter how much you put on it.
I topped it up as my hubby goes in Feb and my daughter in May and it's easier to keep the same number.
Good luck.
