1-cent Call

One cent can not buy anything (in physical world) in Indonesia. But you can make a one second call with that... :-)
Just launched today, another retaliation move in the recent telco price war. This time it's Indosat.

According to the terms and conditions:

• the first 90 seconds cost Rp 15/sec (or Rp 25/sec for off-net)
• and only after that it will cost you 1cent per second - so Rp 6 per minute, which is basically free
  

Who has the cheapest tariff for off-net to other mobile subscriber now? Difficult to answer, depending on how long you're going to talk.

	1 min.	2 min.	3 min.			4 min.	5 min.
Esia*	800	1600	2400			3200	4000
Fren	700	1400	2100			2800	3500
XL Bebas	1500	3000	3006			3012	4512
IM3	1500	2250.30	2250.90			2251.50*	2252.10*

Notes:

• All prices in IDR
• Esia rate is for local mobile calls
  
• I still have to cross check Indosat's T&C after the third minutes - website's down so can't get any details
• I did not take into account the VAT and the market price of the prepaid vouchers - they may add or subtract 5-10% of the above prices...
  

See... interesting... :-)
