Should be 3 (Tri) telecom. Please note that for this telecom, the thrifty way for non regular to get internet connection is to buy the internet using your current top up balance.

The cost should be as follow:

2k = 25mb
5k rp = 100mb
10k rp = 400mb
25k rp = 1.25gb

Just get a new 3 (Tri) card for around 10k and top up 5k-25k rp with a 2-3k handing charge and dial *123# and choose the number for Data Kuota ++ then choose your desired amount.

The data card that shop sells usually around 5k-10k more expensive than you buy the data via this method yourself.

There are 2 different speed of connection for 3 Tri:

The 6gb for 100k card belongs to the slower speed catagory. Thus for the local for worthwhile.

Data Kuota ++ connection has a better internet speed.

More information here: http://tri.co.id/add-on-data/kuota

There are also those that provide you 50mb per month, the cost as follow:

A month Package: 10k
6 months package: 35k
12 months package: 50k

Which mean if you buy the 12 months package, each month you are entitled to 50mb for the next 12 months.

There are also bundle package for sms/calls, quite interesting i feel.

PS: I always buy the 25k = 1.25gb data, it usually last around 4-6 trips for me.
