Why Get an eSIM for Indonesia?
- Skip the arrivals SIM counter at Ngurah Rai Airport, where queues can be long after evening flights.
- Book a ride on arrival. Ride-hailing apps are usually cheaper and simpler than haggling for a taxi.
- Keep your number for bank codes and messages from home.
- One eSIM for the whole country, from Bali to Lombok, Java, and Flores.
How to Choose an Indonesia eSIM
Trip length
Pick a plan that covers your whole stay plus a spare day for flight times. egoViet plans can't be topped up, so it is better to size up than to run short. If your high-speed data does run out, you stay online at a basic speed of around 128 kbps, enough for messaging.
How much data you use
Maps, rides, and messaging use little data. Uploading sunset videos, video calls, and remote work from Canggu cafés use much more. Here is a guide to how much data you need when you travel.
Where you are going
An Indonesia eSIM covers Bali and the other islands. If you are combining Indonesia with Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, or Vietnam, see the regional options below.

| Two weeks with Lombok or the Gilis | A 15-day plan with 10 GB or more |
| A month as a digital nomad in Canggu | A large 30-day plan or unlimited |
| Short stay with mostly villa Wi-Fi | A small fixed plan |
| Bali plus Singapore or Thailand | Southeast Asia eSIM |
How to Set Up Your Indonesia eSIM
- Check your phone is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. See our eSIM compatibility list.
- Buy your plan. The QR code arrives by email within minutes.
- Install it at home on Wi-Fi with our installation guide.
- When you land in Indonesia, switch the eSIM on, set it for mobile data, and turn on data roaming for that line. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM.
Tips for Staying Connected in Indonesia
- Use Gojek or Grab for rides, scooters, and food delivery, but note that some areas restrict ride-hailing pickups.
- Expect patchier signal on small islands. The Gilis, Nusa Penida, and remote parts of Lombok can be slower, so download maps and tickets in advance.
- Keep a power bank. Long boat transfers and day trips drain batteries fast, especially when you navigate.
- Plan around Nyepi. On Bali's Day of Silence, usually in March, the island shuts down and mobile internet may be limited for 24 hours.
- Need to call? egoViet eSIMs are data-only, so use WhatsApp or FaceTime. Here is how calling works with a data-only eSIM.
