Telephone

From Neraca

Telkom has been very helpful in providing the public with telephones. I am very grateful for this.

In Lenteng Agung district, southern Jakarta, in front of the campus of Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Komunikasi, there are three public telephone booths.

Unfortunately they have not been working for weeks now although the Telkom workers who gather the coins from the phone boxes must know about this.

These public telephones have been a great help to the community in Lenteng Agung and we would like to see them repaired as soon as possible.

Another thing I would like to ask is whether or not a telephone can be used as a source of income? A shop near here, charges Rp 1,000 for a five minute call. The usual charge is Rp 100 per dial but I don't know how long you can speak for this charge.
