I used roaming the first year I took my mobile to Bali and luckily I didn't make too many calls home as then (about 8 years ago) it was around $5.00 per minute. The way your phone is now, to make a local call you actually have to call Indonesia, the same as you would from home, eg +62 etc. Check that your phones are not locked before you buy the sim card. If they are and you are going to be in Bali for a while I suggest you buy a cheap mobile in Bali, It will still be cheaper than roaming. Cheers, Stormy
