For users of mobile phones, coverage is excellent in most of the major tourist areas, however service is limited in more remote areas of Bali. We advise anyone traveling to Bali with their mobile phone to check with their network operators for their international roaming status prior to traveling. Cellular service in Indonesia is GSM. If you do decide to bring your mobile phone to Bali, you have the option of purchasing a prepaid calling card to make outgoing calls at a lower cost of calling on your home SIM. They are available from a number of shops displaying the service providers logos, such as IM3, Telkomsel, Satelindo and Pro XL.Alternatively you can rent a mobile phone.
Credit Cards
Major credit cards are acceptable in most hotels along with American dollar
traveler’s cheques.
Electricity
Most hotels use 220 volts, 50 cycles and a round, two-pronged slim plug.
Bathroom shaver plugs usually have a transformer switch. We suggest taking an adaptor for your appliance.
Getting Around
You will find a range of chauffeur driven limousines, self-drive cars, taxis and hotel courtesy cars. Many taxis are not metered so it’s wise to negotiate the fare before you climb aboard. Bemos are a unique form of transport. They are a mini-van masquerading as a communal bus. You simply hail the driver and negotiate the fare that suits you both. Motorcycles can also be hired in many places but special care should be exercised at all times as road and traffic conditions can be somewhat hazardous in certain locations. Traveling around Bali is made all the easier because everywhere you go you’ll find friendly people only too happy to give you advice and directions on how to get where you want to go.
Driver’s License
If you wish to hire a car you must be over 18 years of age and posses an International Driver’s License or license from ASEAN countries.
Clothing
Light, airy, casual clothes are the most practical and you’ll find natural fibers like cotton or linen are the most comfortable in Bali’s often humid conditions. Waist sashes should be worn when visiting temples.
