Pro XL card is 50.000 (20.000 credit) Put it in your phone (can only do this if your phone is not locked to a plan).
You get a new number. Text your friends so they know your number (not work though- that way they can't ring you with trivial things).
Text messages are 350rp (5c). Local calls are 1.000 a minute (I think).
The adantages are thast when you ring drivers etc it is a local call. With International roaming you pay for a n overseas call the ring a driver in the next street.
When you top up the card it's 50.000 for 50.000 credit.
Definitely the cheapest way to go. I have heard of people getting home and being hit with massive mobile charges.
I like to know what I'm spending.

From Bali to Aussie you need to add +61 and drop the first 0 off the phone number (to Aust) From Aussie to Bali +61
