and that will have Rp5,000 credit on it. You should not be paying a lot more for the SIM than the value of the credit included.
You can always buy more credit very easilly so don't let that amount on the initial SIM worry you.
However they charge more for some numbers - numbers that are easier to remember etc so if the vendor asks you which number you want - showing you a bundle of SIM packets, just ask for the cheapest.
For a SIM with Rp100,000 credit on I paid Rp100,000.
Our staff change SIMs all the time when there are different offers on and they generally pay Rp10,000 max.
