Public phones out of order

Public phones out of order

From Neraca

The state of public phones in Jakarta is not in keeping with
the telephone company's current drive for better service and
increased sales of new telephone lines.

Last week I used the public phone on the ground floor of the
manpower ministry on Jl. Gatot Subroto. The machine accepted my
phone card and after a few scratching tones started to reduce the
number of pulsas while no connection was made. Had I not
withdrawn my card the machine would have eaten up all the time on
my card.

PT Telkom should have appended a notice on the phone saying
that its was out of order. I have suffered similar losses at
other public phones, e.g. the one at Cikini station. PT Telkom
should inform the public where to lodge complaints when its card
phones fail to operate properly.
