Wow that has come around quick! Have a great holiday!
Watch Optus doesn't confuse you more, gee they told me on 3 seperate phone calls SMS messages would work without international roaming, and they were wrong. I suggest you only use it for messages, as 2 trips ago a relative who also has optus used her for quick calls back home wow i am glad i didn't have her phone bill. SMS messages are just the 22or25 cents same costs as here when at home.
You have to add + then the country code 61 (if you are messaging australia) 62 (if messaging to a Bali phone) remember to take off the 0 so for example if the mobile number is 0402 02020 then it would be +61 402 02020. I hope that helps. Thats what we did in Bali and it worked well.
Have a wonderful holiday! Do heaps of shopping! Enjoy a bintang or 2 or 3 or more.
We have relatives going tomorrow, lucky ducks.
Cheers Karen
