Depends with your carrier

The Indo cards are different. You will either have to buy one or let yourself be without communication for a couple of days. Its not a bad Idea to have Sim cards from all the Asian countries. some of the new wallets actually have multiple Sim card pockets built in. good luck.

if you bring smart and globe, i think they will work.**

That actually depends on the service provider of the sim that you bought. If you buy Singtel, I think that they do provide roaming to a lot of neighboring Asian countries. However, if you bought, say, a Globe sim (coz they sell those in Singapore, under Singtel), then you could apply for roaming service and you can use your sim almost anywhere. :)

I use a Starhub Green prepaid card. It allows roaming at decent rates (see below). The sim card costs $18 and comes with $18 worth of credit -- you can buy it at any 7-Eleven (take your passport as you'll need to register it). Top-up cards worth $18 can be bought for around $15 in many places. You need to activate roaming before you leave Singapore by dialing *111#.
