All rooms in better hotels throughout Indonesia and most vacation villas in Bali have direct IDD telephone lines. Therefore, it is usually no problem to dial up your home service provider at any time.

Long distance telephone charges from Indonesia are 7,500 Rupiah per minute to North America and Australia/New Zealand, Rupiah 9,500 to Europe, and between 525 and 2,100 Rupiah (depending on the time) per minute to Jakarta, and most hotels add a surcharge of 200% or more. Local calls cost Rupiah 180 per minute (most hotels charge Rupiah 1,000 and more).

Local Internet Access:

Several Indonesian service providers maintain local telephone access numbers in Bali. However, it is difficult for non-residents to open their own account. One reason is that the Indonesian ISPs are not interested in having clients for only one or two weeks, others are that their customer service staff does hardly speak any English, and all documentation including system configuration details is written in Bahasa Indonesia only.

Since 1999 TELKOM is also offering Internet access without any registration or contract. Just dial 080-989-999, key in the user name "telkomnet@instan" and the password "telkom" and you're on-line. For further information visit the TELCOMNet web site or call 162 or 241-162. However, keep in mind that some hotels charge 4,000 Rupiah per minute if you use this 080-number!
