Travel & Connectivity Guide for Indonesia
Basic tips for staying connected in the world's biggest archipelago.
Best Areas of Coverage
Internet connectivity is good in Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, Uluwatu) and Java (Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Yogyakarta) as well as many large cities in Sumatra and Sulawesi. Other popular islands such as Lombok, Gili Trawangan, and Nusa Penida also have a stable 4G network.
Most Reliable Networks
We have partnerships with two of the most prominent operators in Indonesia, namely Telkomsel and XL Axiata. Telkomsel is famous for its wide coverage of remote areas and outlying islands, so that you can always keep in touch with your loved ones wherever you may roam.
Use of Data
Indonesia is a mobile first nation. You’ll need data constantly for Gojek or Grab (which you’ll use for transportation and food delivery), Google Maps and WhatsApp. For a typical two week trip, 10GB is a safe amount of data to carry with you. Digital nomads generally prefer 20GB as a reliable backup to cafe Wi-Fi.
Must See Spots
Watch the sunrise from atop Mount Bromo, discover the incredible underwater biodiversity of Raja Ampat, wander through the sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, and see the Blue Flames of Ijen Crater.
IMEI Registration
Tourists who purchase a local SIM card usually have to deal with rigid IMEI registration requirements at customs, which can cost a lot for new and expensive phones. Since eSIM works as a roaming profile you don’t need to declare your IMEI at Indonesian customs.
24/7 Customer Support
Whether you get stuck in the traffic jams of Jakarta or are relaxing on the beaches of Flores, our customer support staff are there to assist you 24 hours per day with any setting or connectivity issues.
eSIM FAQs
Common questions about using eSIM in Indonesia
How to get an eSIM in Indonesia for foreign visitors — 2026 guide
Getting an eSIM for Indonesia as a foreign visitor with Esimy takes under 60 seconds and bypasses the Indonesian IMEI registration / passport-paperwork hassle that affects local SIM purchases by tourists. The QR code arrives by email before you fly, you install it on your phone, and activate when you land at Bali (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), Yogyakarta (YIA), or any Indonesian airport.
Step 1 — Buy before you fly. Visit esimy.net, choose your Esimy Indonesia plan (single-country starting from €1.99 / 1 GB / 7 days up to €17.99 / 20 GB / 30 days, or a regional Asia plan if your trip covers multiple SE Asian countries), pay with any international Visa/Mastercard, and your QR code arrives instantly in your inbox.
Step 2 — Install on your phone before landing. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code → scan with the camera → name the line “Esimy Indonesia” → choose Esimy as default for cellular data. On Android (Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi): Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Add eSIM → Scan QR code → confirm. The eSIM installs as a second line — your home SIM stays untouched for SMS verification codes from your bank.
Step 3 — Activate when you land. Land at DPS (Denpasar, for Bali), CGK (Jakarta), YIA (Yogyakarta), or any Indonesian airport. Open Settings → Cellular → enable the Esimy line for data → enable Data Roaming (required for the eSIM to authenticate on the XL Axiata Indonesia / Telkomsel Indonesia / Smartfren partner network — no roaming charges apply, the data is included in your plan). Within 30 seconds you have full 4G/5G data. No Indonesian KITAS, no IMEI registration risk, no Indonesian-language paperwork at an airport SIM kiosk.
Best eSIM for Bali — do I need one and how to get it? 2026
Do you need an eSIM for Bali? Yes, if you want reliable internet without paying brutal home-carrier roaming fees or wasting your first day in Bali queueing at a local SIM kiosk in central Kuta. The best eSIM for Bali in 2026 is Esimy — single-country Indonesia plans (Bali included) starting from €1.99 / 1 GB / 7 days, working on XL Axiata Indonesia, Telkomsel Indonesia, and Smartfren networks across the entire island.
Why an Esimy Bali eSIM beats the alternatives: (1) vs. roaming on your home carrier — most European/US carriers charge €5–€15 per day for Indonesia roaming, which adds up fast on a 2-week Bali trip. Esimy is a fixed prepaid price with no overage surprises. (2) vs. local SIM at DPS airport — airport SIM kiosks in Bali are notorious for tourist-priced overpriced bundles, and you have to register your passport. With Esimy, no kiosk visit, no airport queue, no Indonesian paperwork.
How to get an Esimy Bali eSIM in 60 seconds: visit esimy.net, choose your Esimy Indonesia plan (Bali is fully included, starting from €1.99 / 1 GB / 7 days up to €17.99 / 20 GB / 30 days), pay with any international card, receive QR code by email instantly. Install on iPhone (Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code) or Android (Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Add eSIM). Activate on landing at DPS Denpasar airport — enable Data Roaming on the Esimy line, and you’re connected to XL Axiata, Telkomsel, or Smartfren within 30 seconds.
Best for which Bali trips: 1-2 week beach holidays in Seminyak/Canggu, surf trips to Uluwatu, yoga retreats in Ubud, digital nomad stays in Canggu, family vacations in Nusa Dua, Gili Islands hopping. Hotspot/tethering included — share with your travel partner or laptop. 5% cashback on every purchase.
Does eSIM work in Indonesia? Bali coverage explained — 2026
Yes — eSIM works in Indonesia in 2026 on Indonesia’s major mobile networks (XL Axiata Indonesia, Telkomsel Indonesia, Smartfren), and yes, that includes full coverage in Bali. An international eSIM like Esimy connects you to Indonesian 4G/5G the moment you land at Denpasar (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), or any Indonesian airport.
Bali coverage specifically: excellent 4G across all major Bali tourist areas — Denpasar, Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu, Sanur, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Amed, and Lovina. Solid coverage on Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and the Gili Islands (Lombok). 5G is rolling out via Telkomsel in central Denpasar and Kuta. Remote rice-paddy villages and the Munduk highlands may drop to 3G — same as for any provider on Bali.
What “eSIM works in Indonesia” actually means: any eSIM-capable phone (iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+) installs an Esimy Indonesia eSIM as a second line. Your phone connects to local Indonesian networks via international roaming infrastructure — no Indonesian KITAS/passport registration, no IMEI-block risk that affects local SIM purchases by tourists.
How to confirm before you buy: dial *#06# on your phone — if you see an “EID” alongside your IMEI, your phone supports eSIM. Order an Esimy Indonesia plan from esimy.net (starting from €1.99 / 1 GB / 7 days), install the QR code before flying, switch on data when you land at DPS for Bali or CGK for Jakarta. Connection time: typically 30 seconds.
Best eSIM for Indonesia — Bali, Jakarta, and beyond travel guide 2026
The best eSIM for Indonesia travel in 2026 — including Bali — is Esimy. Single-country Indonesia plans start from €1.99 / 1 GB / 7 days, with 4G/5G coverage on Indonesia’s top mobile networks via XL Axiata Indonesia, Telkomsel Indonesia, and Smartfren. No SIM swap, no Indonesian KITAS/passport registration at a local carrier shop, no roaming surcharge.
Esimy Indonesia single-country plans: €1.99 / 1 GB / 7 days, €3.99 / 3 GB / 30 days, €4.99 / 5 GB / 30 days, €8.99 / 10 GB / 30 days, €17.99 / 20 GB / 30 days. Ideal for 1- to 4-week trips covering Bali (Denpasar, Ubud, Canggu, Seminyak, Uluwatu, Nusa Penida), Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Lombok (Gili Islands), Java (Borobudur, Mount Bromo), Sumatra (Lake Toba), Komodo Island, and the major Indonesian destinations. Hotspot/tethering included on every plan.
Why Esimy beats picking up a local SIM at Bali Denpasar airport (DPS): Indonesian local SIMs require passport registration since the IMEI/SIM regulations of 2020, often involve an in-person visit to a carrier store in Kuta or central Denpasar (the airport SIM kiosks frequently have inflated tourist prices), and you have to find a top-up shop to recharge. With Esimy, the QR code arrives in your inbox before you fly — install on the plane, switch on data when you land at DPS, CGK (Jakarta), or any Indonesian airport.
Why Esimy specifically for Indonesia: Esimy connects to XL Axiata Indonesia, Telkomsel Indonesia, and Smartfren for strong 4G/5G across Bali, Java, and the major islands. 5% cashback in Loyalty Points (1,000 points = €1), no expiration. 24/7 multilingual support. Top up directly from the Esimy app — no need to find a local Indonesian top-up shop.
