In Reply to: SIM Card for Bali posted by joeboy on Monday, 1. May 2006 at 15:07 Bali Time:
1. The prices to unlock over here sound about right.
2. I think to unlock in Bali is around 150,000rp - around $A23 (if you do a search on this site you will find exact amount people have paid).
3. Yes you purchase a Bali pre-paid sim card, you decide how much credit you want to purchase - I personally use ProXL.
4. Yes you have a different number so will need to advise your friends. Aussie numbers will start with +61 and bali numbers start with +62 - so if you want to sms an aussie friend with say number 04121234567 you would store the number as +614121234567 (drop the first zero) and if your bali number is 0409876543 then your number is +62409876543.
5. When you leave Bali you swap the sim card back to your normal Telstra pre-paid sim.
Hope this info helps, Jan
