Hi Timmy.

I thought about it too. They have severely restricted SIM availability for foreigners. SIM cards used to be sold all over the streets and still are. While Indonesians can register by phone and their domestic IDs, all foreigners need to go to an operator's store for registration or will be shut off.

This is a major hassle. The reason why I haven't greylisted Indonesia is that this is not very uncommon in the world that you need to go to a certain point for SIM registration. The Greylist doesn't describe a development or trend, but the actual status in some critical countries. And here Indonesia is not so special with registration only in provider stores (like in Pakistan, India, Austria, Spain, Hungary, Italy, France, Switzerland, Turkey, etc....) That's why I haven't done it (yet). But I've added a special section about the problems involved for foreigners.

I will travel to Bali this March and check the situation on location and may change my mind, if there are major problems involved. Thanks for your suggestion.
