In Reply to: Cost to RECEIVE calls??? posted by david_robyn on Friday, 5. May 2006 at 18:14 Bali Time:
you may be way better off for the call to be received at your hotel at a certain time & then the caller from Oz pays all the costs.My husband usually insists on taking one of our Aussie mobiles with us each trip but we always have at least 1 ,normally 2 Bali Sim cards for 2 phones.We can easily & regularly keep in touch with our staff via MSN,check our emails daily,tell them to Message or call the Bali numbers - rather than call the Aussie Phone.
I realise all businesses & all business phone calls can be different - but we find IF the staff ever make the mistake of calling us on the Aussie mobile in Bali that it is pretty expensive.We have a fantastic & very loyal team of 10 & find it does us all a heap of good for us to let go of things when we are on holidays.They have never let us down & I think it does them good to prove to themselves & us that it really does all work out ok without us being there.
If you wants to save Dollars ,just make sure as soon as you get your Bali Sim Card that you SMS someone back at your company the phone number of your hotel & your Bali mobile number - even better why not use MSN like we do ?
Hope this has helped a bit.
