In my last recent trip to Indonesia (Jakarta), I chanced on the new release from BOLT! of the new LTE modem (E5372 / 5372S) which is bundled with new prepaid LTE sim card subscription.
Likewise to earlier model (MF90), the bundled package is very attractive in terms of price point – only Rp299K (S$30) for both the LTE modem (E5372S) & 8GB prepaid LTE sim card which is valued at Rp75K (S$7.5).
The new bundled modem is manufactured by Huawei and comes in 2 models. The only difference is the included battery – E5372S (Slim) & E5372 (Max), with a bigger capacity for the latter one.
Packaging wise is pretty similar to the earlier ZTE MF90 model, but this time round BOLT! has partnered with LINE to launch unlimited call & messaging using LINE & BOLT! service.
