How long does it take to set up an eSIM in Indonesia?

An eSIM activates instantly via QR code — your mobile data is active in minutes. A traditional SIM card takes 30-60 minutes since you must purchase it in person at a store after arriving in Indonesia.

Where can I buy an eSIM for Indonesia before I travel?

You can buy your eSIM data plan online before you travel — no roaming charges, instant QR code delivery via email. A physical SIM is only available at the airport or local stores after you arrive in Indonesia.

Which mobile networks does the Indonesia eSIM use?

Esimy's Indonesia eSIM connects to Telkomsel Indonesia with 4G/5G mobile data coverage nationwide. A physical SIM card locks you to one carrier you have to choose at the point of sale.

How much does an eSIM for Indonesia cost?

Esimy offers prepaid eSIM data plans for Indonesia starting at 1.99€, with 5 plans available. Airport SIM card prices are typically 2-3x higher than an eSIM bought online before traveling.

Will my phone work with an eSIM in Indonesia?

Yes — an eSIM works on iPhone XS and newer (2018+) and most Android phones from 2018+. Check your phone settings under "Cellular" or "SIM Manager" to confirm eSIM support before buying a plan for Indonesia.

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.
