According to DailySocial, though, that all could be changing soon thanks to Telkomsel’s newly introduced all-you-can-message plans. The deal’s fairly simple, the Indonesian carrier’s bundling applications like Opera Mini, Line, WhatsApp and KakaoTalk in an unlimited package, with pricing starting at a mere 30,000 Rp (around $3) per month. Obviously, with the inclusion of a couple of the aforementioned apps, Indonesians could – in theory – also make calls without using their precious minutes, which is quite a good deal for under four bucks. In the end, it looks like it’ll come down to how attached folks are to all those BlackBerry Messenger pins and whistles.
