How to Subscribe Internet and Telephone Line

Indonesian telecommunication systems have improved rapidly in recent years. Many homes in large urban areas already have a telephone line installed. It should be noted that new lines are not available in all areas so the availability of a line or additional line should be confirmed before choosing a place to live.
There are some companies offering fixed-line and mobile telephone services in Indonesia. The coverage offered varies between companies and can be patchy in rural areas.
