    Hey Ron, If I understand you correctly - find someone with a Kitas (don't have one myself, yet) get them to go into a contract with say, XL for a monthly bill. Then all I have to do is pay the bill monthly by bank transfer/paypal from where ever in the world I am?

    Yes. I use Telkomsel and can pay from anywhere via the Internet using BCA internet banking. You need one of their gizoms that they call KeyBCA when you are making payments.

    My old number ran out, as usual, so got to start from new - anybody know a way to hang onto a number without complicated calling or anything from outside the country?
    If I may offer a simple solution.........just send and sms from your Bali number to your other phone once a week....worked for me

    Tami that is some of the best advice I've had from this forum - simple and easy to do and if I can now organize my poor brain to do this then it will be great.

    Many thanks!

    Well from what little I understand the accounts are deleted when they have been inactive for 1 month so, and I'm guessing here, if you send a sms to that number the great computer in the sky that controls all living things will think the account is still active and leave it alone for another month.

    I am usually a bit over-optimistic too...

    Credit has a use-by date, so after that date there is no credit, and after a certain amount of time the number will go. Sending SMS messages to it will not add credit so I cannot see how it helps.
