Temporary Mobile Phone during travel
by traveldream
GSM
GSM is currently the most established mobile phone network in Indonesia. If you have a GSM phone, you can simply buy a prepaid sim card, which is very cheap, but you might want to compare the tariff between operators.
GSM operators in Indonesia and their prepaid card products:
- Telkomsel: Simpati (Hoki, Kartu As)
- Indosat: Mentari, IM3
- XL: XL Bebas
CDMA
CDMA in Indonesia is relatively new, so the network coverage is not as broad as GSM but tariff is cheaper.
CDMA operators in Indonesia:
- Esia
- Mobile 8
- Telkom Flexi
---
For your satisfaction, check with the operator about coverage and tariff.
visit Jakarta's most...

visit Jakarta's most recognisable landmark, the Monas (Monumen Nasional).
Towering 137 meters above Merdeka Square, the best 360 degree views (undeniably) of Jakarta can be seen from the top, mercifully reached by elevator.
Who says u can't go scuba diving in Jakarta
by Perucha
Just go to Thousand Islands, north of Jakarta. Take a morning boat, 1.5 hrs travel time, and there u r...in the beautiful tiny island w/ white sandy beach and crystal clear water w/ colorful fishes & coral gardens. U can also do the wreck dive! When u got there, u wouldn't feel that u r just an hour away from the metropolitan city.
Who says u can't go scuba diving in Jakarta? :-) U can always rent diving gears in the resort

My fiance asked me to ride on the ugly orange thing called 'Bajaj'. Bajaj is a three wheel Vespa powered two-stroke engine (think of it as a fat-bottomed motorcycle, if you don't know what a Vespa is) with an attached carriage. Their obnoxious bright orange color, and distinctive, ear piercing rattling noise, will accompany you along on your ride. This ugly thing constantly vibrates when moving! Bajaj are handy for getting around the city but the ride can be very scarry! So much smoke and make you sick if you ride for long time! The RIDE, reminds me of amusement park! Funny and ugly looking with it's own charm! I made many comments to my fiance and she smilled. So when ever I see these, I laugh for they remind me of HAPPY times with my fiance!
