Ipad jakarta, Indonesia

Hi all,

Looking for some feedback from Jakarta Ipad Owners. I would check on the local forums, but i dont speak bahasa yet.

My questions are as follows:

1. What are the typical prices for plans for unlimited data in Jakarta? Do they offer fast and reliable access? ( I have just moved to the 35th floor of apartment in Jakarta Pusat and this has rendered my smart hdspa completely useless because apparently i am too high up...)

2. Is anyone tethering an HTC or Nexus one phone to their ipad in Jakarta? Interested to here how well it works on the jakarta network as i am loath to pay companies two separate fees for ipad and phone connection.

Any info would be much appreciated

Chris

 

Hi Chris, Im using a "3" data card, i live & work in north Jakarta and it works fine, the best is telkomsel which is $$$, 200k a month i think, second to that would be indosat im2 i guess, only way to be sure is you buy a one month prepaid card and test them, which ever works the best, you could commit to that or just continue using prepaid,

Cheers, M

 

Thanks for the information. I will test the prepaid cards and post an update.

Thanks for the updates. I am trailing prepaid. I am using 3 this month. rp 37,500 per month - 1 gig limit (slows down after that). It is reasonably fast and consistent.( I am sure telekomsel is faster but it is good enough for me.) It even works in my apartment (35th floor) which is more than i can say for my phone.

 

Hi guys I was just wondering were can i buy an Ipad 16gb 3g in Jakarta and what is the price
Please reply
Thanks

 

Ipad is still not available from official Apple suppliers in Indonesia, so only parallel imported models are available.

I find this store usually has reasonably good prices, but there might be places you can get it slightly cheaper.

electronic gadgets store - Roxy Square, POINS Square, Kamera Digital, Kamera SLR, Lensa, Blackberry,Iphone, Ipod, Asus eeepc, GPS, Camcorder, Projector, HTC, Imate, Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Casio, Kodak, Mio, Ipaq, Lowepro, Lensa, Notebook, Lapto

Still cheaper to get one in Hong Kong or Singapore if you can.
