In Reply to: Cost of sms from Bali posted by Nannyrea on Wednesday, 7. February 2007 at 05:41 Bali Time:
and used a Simpati card and from what I understand local sms cost 300 rupiah and sms to Australia cost 600 rupiah.
That is what my Indonesian friends were telling me as I travelled around Indonesia.
I have helped out with credit in the past ( my english school used to have a mobile phone in West Java) and as far as I am concerned they should be able to survive on 50,000 rupiah/month.
Anymore and they are phoning friends which is very expensive and definitely taking advantage of your generosity.
