Morning bro wala
I am pretty new to Indon cheonging ground.
I read somewhere the Indo govt had blocked access to all phono site. So can we still surf SBF if we are at Batam? Could u please explain more in details as to
1. Which prepaid card value for money at batam?
2. The cost?
3. Must I surf at places where theres wifi only?
4. What is PW that u mentioned?
5. With such prepaid card, can I surf in any hotel or must I find a hotel that have wifi coverage??
6. So when at google site, i just type "sammyboyforum" to get to SBF site, right?
PM I received from 1 bro, post the answers for the benefit all.
1. Any prepaid card is about the same for cheongsters, but for the different operators there, much cheaper if you calling another person using same operator compare to some1 using another operator. I am using SIMPATI, and for calling IDD use 01017(country code+number) instead of +(country code+number). Bery cheap IDD calls, call Singapore talk 2mins less than Rp600, cheaper than sending IDD SMS @Rp600 per SMS.
2. Most Prepaid card just Rp20K, with value of 5K talk time preloaded. Top up range from 10K-100K, can be done via voucher or electronic transfer at the koisk selling them.
3. If you surf using phone at areas with WIFI, just set your phone to using WIFI instead of WAP network, how to do it dun ask me
4. PW = Password for the WIFI
5. If surfing using phone at locations without WIFI, use prepaid card WAP connection, then you will be charged for data usage. Some operator have package, where you pay a few thousand rp for a bundle of 1MB for within 24hrs. For Black Berry user can opt for the Black Berry package, unlimited FB and others data usage at fixed monthly cost.
6. To get to sammyboy, same address as when using your computer.
