Bali sim card in your i-phone as long as it is unlocked. I have used one the last 2 trips and had no problems with sms, phone or internet. I did use the free internet cafe's where I could with no adverse affects. I however could not use my i-phone as a modem to my laptop, hope to have this sussed out before next trip. I did have some problems accessing my email at different times of the day or certain cafe provider services....just too slow a connection to get through.
I found Gloria Jeans in Kuta square the best spot, go upstairs for view, air conditioning and comfort. Free internet if you buy a drink. They also have 4 desktop computers for use but you have to stand at them, no chairs allowed!
Don't know about those issues with automatic updates I didn't get them at all. Check your phone settings and have a look at the i-phone apple website for confirmation on what you should or shouldn't be doing.
