As Holladaze has said, thats the way to go definitely. If you need to keep your existing phone on so people can contact you if they want to...you could always buy a cheapie phone here (saw for about $38 at officeworks the other week), one that is not locked into any carrier, and take that with you to put a Bali Simcard in, and carry around the 2 phones. It's worth it, you'll save the $38 in phone calls easily, and can use the phone anywhere you need to.
Or, text your Bali number back home to family when you've purchased your Bali simcard, so they can contact you :)
