a 3 mobile phone will not accept a Bali Sim card.I may be wrong but my husband's would not.His phone will work in Bali though,I know that because he had the damn thing turned on sometimes & we got calls from our staff.Not what you want when on holidays! The thing to remember if using your Aussie 3 phone in Bali, you pay for both legs of the call,if a call comes through from Oz & it can be expensive.
If I was you I would pick up the cheapest Vodafone that you can find because it shouldn't be locked & you will be able to buy a Bali Sim card to use in.You normally get about $30 credit when you buy one - either use it up yourself when you get home or give it to someone else who can use it.
Anyway Bopgirl is the expert on mobile phones as far as I am concerned & usually notices these posts & replies.I expect her comments will be up to date info.
