You have a point there bro...
It ultimately depends on the need of a person who buys the sim card,whereby i was referring to someone new to Batam on my last message,hehehe...

A wifi card built in my lap top is different from a "USB portable sim card modem". What if i am not staying in a "hotel"? And/or if the wifi signal in the hotel i am staying in is,weak?
I have the option of Lan line tho,something i am constantly looking at over my last 3 over years in Batam when it comes to hotel stay, the "USB portable sim card modem" would be my plan B.

Hehehe...they try to charge me 3k because i was topping up WAY more than 100k on few different indo lines. Too bad,they lost the deal,i just walk off.
I must admit, not being able to speak bahasa and not in their skin color can some time be my disadvantage. Luckily i constantly have alternatives (tho this dont happen in every issues).
