Bali Number

Hi. I am Australian, currently in Bali for a few weeks. I have a Skype account. I want a Skype phone number that both local Balinese and people in Australia can call. It should require the use of the +62 prefix, and therefore no prefix required for Balinese callers. Please advise what I purchase to enable this, and what are the costs for people calling the number. Thanks.

Please use plain text.

Skype currently does not offer Online Numbers from anywhere in Indonesia.  You can purchase an Online Number in Australia, as Skype offers them in several locations - Canberra, the mainland state capitals, and areas around the capitals in Queensland, NSW, and Victoria.  These numbers would be landline numbers - for example, I have an Online Number in Melbourne, which is 03 xxxx xxxx (or, for callers outside Australia, +61 3 xxxx xxxx).  More information about Online Numbers is available at: Online number

 

If you purchase an Online Number in Australia, callers would be charged just like calling a "normal" landline phone in the same area.  This could be a local call if they were in the same area as your number, or a long-distance call if they call from some other part of Australia to that number.  When you are logged into Skype, it would cost you nothing from Skype to receive those calls.
