The cheapest internet tariff, or rather what they call in Bali an “internet package” in Telkomsel somewhere for 2 GB for 50,000 rupiah (prices are constantly changing), this tariff is enough for me personally for a month (unless, of course, I don’t watch youtube for 24 hours day). The cost of a SIM card is 20,000-50,000 rupiah ($2-4) – it depends on the markup of the mobile store. Internet packages cost from 60,000 rupiah ($5) per month for 2 GB. It makes sense to put 100,000 rupees ($8) on the balance, buy a 2 GB package, and use the rest for calls and SMS. Mobile communication is cheap in Bali, but the most important thing is cheap internet rates. So, for less than $5, you can connect a tariff for 2-5 gigabytes per month (depends on the operator). (All those who come for less than a month also buy a monthly internet tariff.
