I always put the address of the first place I stay (Sanur Beach Villas)on my arrival card and have never been hassled there. Then we stay in other places and find we never have these calls at SGI but we do at another place we stay. I think it is perfectly plausible that any hotel employee who has access to the guest list which is practically everyone could be selling the details. I like to answer the phone in Indonesian in the late afternoon "Halo. Dengan Ibu Yanti" it seems to work. My Indonesian may be lousy but their's must be worse because it floors them!!! It also turns the whole annoying thing into a bit of a laugh.
