Am looking at a Simpati 100000rp recharge card which says..
Recharge time 30 days
Active time 60 days
"One of her questions was IF she wanted to recharge the card & gave a fellow Adelaide traveller the money could they just do something to top up her card or would they need to take her Sim Card &/or her mobile phone with them"
Would at least need the Sim to put in theirs/another phone to add on the recharge in Bali.
Don't know how long you get for 250000rp recharge.
A friend of mine used to leave her Bali Sim Card in Bali and every time another friend went over they would put the card in their own mobiles, top it up and use while over there.
I suppose it depend how often your friend goes over & how often they have other friends that do as well.
Another option is to leave the phone and/or card with a local friend to top up/perhaps use while she is not in Bali.
