There is a Free Hotspot at Zanzibar-
I took my Dopod this month and it automatically scans for WI-FI-
seems to be quite a few new locations in the Legian beach area.
Just ask for password and the restaurants will happily provide.
The internet shops are cheap and differ by only around 50Rp per minute - and yes, some of the dodgy looking ones do have good connections.
my favorite is between Kumala Pantai and Jayakarta- as they always bring you cold water and homemade crisps with lentil things in them- yummy- and 'on the house'.
Have tried to buy them but they say "not for sale sorry"
just for guests-
Their public phone rate is good too.
