There is limited cellular and internet coverage in remote areas such as Raja Ampat and Komodo. Raja Ampat has slightly better service than in the past due to new telecommunication towers placed around the region; this, however, is still not perfect and very intermittent. If you need internet access during your trip, our crew are very familiar with the locations where we can obtain a signal. You can also use onboard Wifi, but again the signal is also limited to locations. If you prefer to have a cellular connection, you can purchase a local sim card at most Indonesian International Airports or local shops, we can also arrange this for you for a small fee, so it is ready for you when you get to La Galigo. Telkomsel is the best choice for sim cards in Indonesia. This sort of SIM card will cost you around $5.  Don’t forget to buy your phone & internet credit. $15/$20 (200 – 300,000 Rp ) is usually enough credit for data based calls and basic internet service. To get cheaper rates for overseas calling, you need to dial either 01017 before your country code, e.g.; (01017) (country code) (phone number)
