If your old phone is unlocked I'd take that.
Buy a sim card in Bali and get the assistant to set it all up for you. There are places everywhere to buy sim cards.
I take an old Nokia phone with me, then if it goes missing it doesn't really matter.
We have purchased phones from ebay and they have been ok, you just read the advert if it says it's unlocked then it should be if it doesn't say then it probably isn't.
Second hand phones can be purchased in Bali really cheap too.
