thanks to Cory for pointing out, in that inimitable way of his, that i've used the country code for Oz and not Indo. that's now been updated in the original post. allow me to register contrition for my floppy-headed ways....
so, in a transaction taking 60-odd seconds and costing four of your english pounds, we have availed ourselves of two local sim cards with the following numbers: jay +62 (0) 858 5754 1865 & nis +62 (0) 858 5754 1866 we will no doubt recommence the rounds of telephony, starting today with a birthday call to Aunty Ba (Happy Birthday, Aunty Ba!), but if you feel like getting in touch, unburdening yourselves, or just shooting the breeze, then by all means pick up the phone and give us a bell . incoming calls are free.... for us. :) p.s. calling from Skype looks to be reasonable, at something around 8p per minute. terima kasih!
