In Reply to: Sim Card posted by Burnbaby on Thursday, 29. September 2005 at 11:59 Bali Time:
purchase a PRO XL card once in Bali. You need a phone that is not sim or network locked however. To see if phone is locked just try someone else's sim card from different provider i.e. Optus. If the sim card works in your phone it is not locked. You can purchase the PRO XL sim cards at a stand at Matahari's and they will set it all up for you. This is by far a cheaper way to sms and call Oz however need to take a copy of the numbers you need with you as you will lose phone numbers currently in phone when they change the sim card. They will be there however when you put in your original sim card. You will also then obviously have a different mobile number while in Bali - just need to let those at home who need to know the new number when you get it. Hope this helps
