Before you go

Travelling in Indonesia

Networks and speeds in Indonesia

Plans here run on Telkomsel (5G), XL (4G) and Indosat (5G); each plan names its operator and its best generation. 5G is included where the operator has it and your phone supports the local bands; elsewhere you get 4G.

How much data do you need in Indonesia?

Maps, messaging, ride apps and a few photos use about 300 to 500 MB a day, so 1 GB covers a short stay and 3 to 5 GB a week of normal use. The smallest plan is 500 MB · 7 days for $1.10; a longer trip is cheaper per gigabyte on a bigger plan. For video calls, streaming or a hotspot for a laptop, unlimited daily data starts at $1.38 a day. Most plans top up from your order page if you run low.

Where travellers use it

Most of our customers land in Bali and Jakarta and travel on to Yogyakarta, Lombok and Bandung. Coverage follows the operator’s network, so a city centre, an airport and a main road are covered everywhere; remote coast and mountains depend on the plan’s operator.

eSIM or a local SIM card in Indonesia?

Indonesia registers local SIM cards to a passport and requires the phone’s IMEI to be registered for use beyond 90 days, with customs fees for some phones. A travel eSIM is outside both rules: no registration, no IMEI check, working on arrival at Ngurah Rai.

Need broader coverage?

These multi-country eSIMs include Indonesia and keep working when you cross a border.

Why an eSIM

Why use an eSIM in Indonesia?

Landing in Indonesia with data already working means maps, translation and your ride from the airport are ready before you reach the exit. No kiosk, no passport photocopy, no hunting for Wi-Fi.

Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts. The eSIM handles data on local networks, so you avoid roaming bills without losing your number.

Install on Wi-Fi at home and keep the line switched off until you land. Validity starts the first time it connects abroad, not when you buy.

Good to know

How much does an eSIM for Indonesia cost?

Plans start at $1.10 for 500 MB · 7 days. Unlimited daily data costs $1.38 a day (the first 500 MB each day at high speed, then 512 Kbps under the fair use policy). Prices are in US dollars and include everything: no roaming fees, no subscription.

When does my Indonesia plan start?

On nearly every plan, the first time the eSIM connects to a network abroad, not when you buy or install it. A few plans start on installation; each plan says which. Install within 180 days of purchase.

Do I need to change any settings?

Turn the travel line on, enable data roaming for that line only, and set it as your mobile data line. Keep data roaming off on your home line. Most phones set the APN automatically. If you are connected but have no data, enter the APN shown on your order page or eSIM page (none shown means the phone sets it itself), or reply to your order email and we will help.

How fast is it?

Each Indonesia plan lists its operators and whether they run 3G, 4G or 5G; each plan card shows its best generation. Daily unlimited plans slow to the fair-use speed shown on the plan once the day's full-speed data is used.

Can I top up or buy again?

Most plans can be topped up from your order page, with more data for the same area or more days. Plans marked non-reloadable cannot; buy a new one and it installs the same way.

Is tethering allowed?

Yes, personal hotspot works on every plan.

Which network is best in Bali and the islands?

Telkomsel has the widest coverage across Bali, Lombok, the Gilis and Java, including Ubud and the east coast. XL and Indosat are fine in Seminyak, Canggu and Jakarta. Expect 4G on most of Bali and gaps in the north.

Do I need to register my phone’s IMEI for the eSIM?

No. IMEI registration concerns phones using Indonesian SIM cards for more than 90 days. A travel eSIM roams through a foreign operator and is not affected.
