Generally Singapore passport holders no need to show the return ticket when entering Indonesia via Batam or Tg Balai, however base on Indonesia Immigration policy, all foreigners entering Indonesia on Socal Visit Pass are required to purchase return ticket, so Immigration officers at Semarang Ahmad Yani Airport

Can you please provide more info about this new law? Have a link for information?
My mobile wifi router was registered by a European provider, and as such never required to be registered in Indonesia to work with Indo Telkomsel SIM card. I had another GSM phone, which I registered at Telkomsel customer point and it worked.
I wish to know if they will work again, or if I have to register them again, or there is no hope and I have to go with roaming :( (imagine that my provider wants 6 USD/day for data roaming!! I don't want that)

Do you or anyone else know where I can find detailed technical information for that?
Some information here, but not enough to clarify my doubts:

Thank you so much.

PS: I think that the ultimate solution, if anything else fails, will to go to GraPARI and buy a MIFI bundled with SIM card. If one stays more than a weekend or plans to return it can be more convenient than roaming. However, a visit to GraPARI always took me more than one hour.
