I'd love to be able to check email, use google maps, and send SMS/WhatsApp messages on my mobile phone while I'm in Indonesia for an entire month.
Shall I use my existing plan or get a local SIM card?

- Does the US T-Mobile International Plan (the one with free data roaming/SMS in 140 countries) work well in Indonesia, particularly around Lembeh Straits and/or on Raja Ampat liveaboards?
This plan has served me well across Europe, including in ski areas in France/Austria. It's also worked fairly well in Bonaire. Speed wasn't super fast, but adequate for basic communication.
- If the T-Mobile plan doesn't work well, which local Indonesian carrier would you recommend? Ideally, I'd like to be able to tether my laptop to my mobile device as well.
