some like/want/see the need for frequent contact with teenagers holidaying with them, or contact with loved ones back home for reasons other than emergency purposes.
Therefore in some cases having a phone on holidays & a Bali sim is more practical/cheaper than using international roaming.
Depends on the individual and their circumstances.
