I took 2 old Nokia phones we no longer use. Just have to make sure they are unlocked (can use other company sims).
My partner bought his Mentari card for 70,000Rp, i also asked elsewhere and it was the same. However our driver/friend said he can get them for 30,000. So perhaps if you know a local ask them to buy it. Our driver tried to talk us into buy Simpati but on the advice of this forum i went with Mentari. I bought ours outside Matahari in Kuta Square, there are 2 dealers there that sell them. Phone credit can be bought at many places, they add about 2000Rp on. For example if you buy 50,000 credit it will cost you 52,000.
