As long as the phone is unlocked it's not a problem. We go an indosat phone. The sim cost 50K and I put 100K credit on it. dial 01016 then 61 then the number in aust dropping the "0" from the front. Cost is 3K per minute to mobiles in aust. Local sms's are 800Rp. The credit lasts a couple of months.
As long as the kiosk seller can speak ok english and your not in the middle of Kuta prices are similar.
