Telkomsel Flash Unlimited
Yes, finally Telkomsel launches new package for its 3G Internet service: Telkomsel 3G Flash Unlimited. Previously in my post, Telkomsel Flash was charging on time-based or usage-based, but in unlimited package: no usage quota anymore, but now bandwidth speed is chopped.
Telkomsel Flash Unlimited can only be applied by kartoHalo subscribers, which means you have to be existing Telkomsel Halo GSM postpaid customer to enjoy this package. You have to be existing customer to apply this offering, at least 3 months. There are 2 offerings, one with free USB HSDPA Modem (I believe the model is Huawei E220, let me know okay?) and the other one is data subscribing only. To apply for free modem, you have to subscribe 1-year-contract package.
With Modem:
- Basic : IDR 250,000, speed up to 256 kbps (means 30 KB/s !!)
- Advance : IDR 350,000, speed up to 512 kbps (64 KB/s)
- Pro : IDR 525,000, speed up to 3,6 Mbps
Without Modem:
- Basic : IDR 125,000, speed up to 256 kbps
- Advance : IDR 225,000, speed up to 512 kbps (64 KB/s)
- Pro : IDR 400,000, speed up to 3,6 Mbps
FYI, although it was advertised as unlimited, only first 3GB will get the speed as told above, after using 3GB in that month, the bandwidth will be reduced down to 64 kbps for Basic package subscribers.
After subscribing to this service, you have to configure your PC or Laptop to connect to Telkomsel Flash APN. Remember to use correct APN, fail to do this will make you surf Internet in retail price (Rp 12/KB). See my article at here (Step by Step to connect to Telkomsel Flash)
Another device introduced by Telkomsel is Telkomsel Babycam on Aug-22, see more information at my Telkomsel Babycam post.

Hi there,
Yes, I applied for 125.000/monthly unlimited started from 9 June - I was glad on my b’day.
Connection was fine until 27 June 2008, I cannot get through of my connection. I am using my handphone - it was fine - it appears I don’t have GPRS signal. I tried to move, tried to visit my friends house close to Telkomsel Tower. I am in Denpasar.
I tried using Huawei E220 as modem with my Halo Number - totally failed. I am using my friend’s Number on my Handphone and on the modem and it’s working so good. Why it’s just only my number affected with any destruction - seems the port is closed for mine. I called CS day by day - same answers there’s was destruction on flash connection and asked me to try periodically - unprofessional answer for me. I have recorded conversation with the CS.
Am I the only person here who have failure connection with telkomsel flash? Please share your comments and deeply appreciated.
Thanks
@Harkonnen , make sure you have paid Telkomsel billing
It might be the problem. other possibilites seems have been tested by you.
Hi Alist,
Thank you for your gentle reminder, I was active start from June 9, and My flash connection was failed start from June 27, so I haven’t got my billing cycle yet.
Fist possibility was I have reached my first quote of 3GB then suddenly the system blocked my number - just my mind and few friends of mine. No body knows since it’s not public info for us.
I have visited Grapari Denpasar this morning and they said that I was active also for M KIOS - Top Up posser seller - alias tukang jualan pulsa. I never registered myself, never activated but for some reason I don’t know why they gave me that reason. Ridiculous, unacceptable for me, I just signed the paper to deactivated even I never activated for that function. I just want my flash connection back - and tonight while I am posting this info - I can browse easily from my Handphone.
Thank Telkomsel - but don’t give me this stupid reason since I am not such an Idiot person - Thanks to Customer Service who helped me, I think it’s your system fault.

I get some problem too with Flash Unlimited. The default connection is by using GPRS, i only get the low speed. Its OK but so slow, then when i use the 3G, connection will be disconnected every 5 minutes, but i get full speed until 800kbps. But it only for 5 minutes, then i have to do reconnection each 5 minutes. Then i use the autodial program to make it easy. I don’t know whats wrong with flash, unstable internet 3G connection.
Today i Get more trouble, the default IP address connection for flash 221.132.xxx.xxx is changed to 114.xxx.xxx.xxx, and only can use for Yahoo Messenger Only, i can’t open any website.
I try and try again, then I use the flash limited account for 3 hours account, its the same … still get 114.xxxxxxx … huff what’s wrong with flash ?
pade ngomong pa’an sih?
i m just new using telkomsel flash unlimited, could u please to tell me how to set my mail account using telkomsel for outgoing mail server in my outlook ( SMTP)
srsly. Telkomsel Flash Unlimited = EPIC FAIL. even if u tweak it upside down it still fails completely.
@arie AFAIK, Telkomsel doesn’t provide SMTP for you to route outgoing mail. better use other free mail such as GMail as your SMTP.

Why i can’t open google ‘thing’ by using my telkomsel flash and PC?But when i connect via HP i can go to google..and once again,why it’s so unstable?
@Ozzu There might be ‘a glitch’ during your connect time. Should be okay now if you try again.
Since Telkomsel Flash users are growing, some area’s connectivity might be suffered.
tarif lumayan
kecepatan kurang memuaskan walau ada booster
kenapa layanannya makin lambat saja, pelanggan banyak ?
