I was surprised to find that the cost of sending SMS “locally” (from the permanently roaming A1000/Halo) to a FOMA handphone) costs the same as sending to a number in Indonesia. As the picture shows, Telkomsel reported that the cost was 4000 rupiahs. |

Last month I brought Vodafone 802SE to South East Asia, i.e., Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. It worked flawlessly in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Singapore and Batam (Indonesia). However, I never worked at all in other Indonesian areas within Riau province and Jakarta that I visited. The 802SE simply could not log into any available GSM network. I tried various SIM cards (Simpati, Halo, Mentari) to no avail. On the other hand, my Motorola A1000 worked flawlessly (it did crash quite often though..).
