Using your Oz sim in Bali is a lot more convenient than getting an Indo one but I was needing to use the mobile for voice calls, not just sms. The roaming charges with Telstra for sms are similar to being in Oz but it all falls apart if you want to receive, or worse, make calls to Oz phone. Receiving a call is A$1.11 per minute plus approx. A$0.40 per minute local "airtime" charge. The king hit is phoning out which is A$5.84 per minute plus 40c set up. Phoning a local Indo number is relatively ok at about 80c per minute.
