Frequently asked questions.
Answers to common setup and buying questions.
How do I pick the right Indonesia eSIM plan for my trip?
Start by comparing these data plans against what your vacation actually needs. Light maps and messages fit 3 GB for 7 days at €2.05; the same 3 GB over 30 days at €2.05 suits a longer stay with lighter use. Heavy photo uploads, video calls or YouTube streaming point to 10 GB for 30 days at €6.41. Treat these as recommendations, not rules, and compare the total price and pricing rather than the allowance alone. No plan here is automatically the best value or the best price, and none promises the best coverage, since signal depends on the local network and your phone. A bigger package is not more affordable if you leave most of it unused.
Will 100 MB or 500 MB cover my needs in Indonesia?
These are the cheapest of the listed plans, but they are best kept for a few essential messages or a single arrival task. Maps with imagery, app updates and photo backups can burn through them quickly. For regular navigation over several days, choose one of the GB plans and keep Wi-Fi for downloads.
Which local networks will my phone use in Indonesia?
Listed networks: XL Axiata Indonesia, Smartfren. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions.
Is my phone compatible with this eSIM?
Confirm your exact model and regional variant support eSIM and that the phone is network unlocked. On an iPhone running iOS, open Settings > General > About and look for No SIM Restrictions beside Carrier Lock. Android models differ by brand and region, so check the maker's specification for your device, then use the compatibility guide for model-specific steps.
When is the best time to install my Indonesia eSIM?
Install over reliable Wi-Fi and save the supplied instructions offline. An eSIM is a virtual SIM card held in your phone's settings rather than a physical card you swap in. Don't count on instant installation; the steps depend on your Wi-Fi and on whether you scan a QR code or add the plan another way. Installation and the start of validity are not necessarily the same event, so follow the plan's activation instructions. On arrival, enable the travel line and set it as the mobile data source.
Can I use my existing number and messaging apps?
Your existing WhatsApp or other messaging accounts work over the travel eSIM's data. This plan has no local phone number and no ordinary calls or SMS, so a bank code or app verification sent by text still depends on your home SIM and its carrier. Check that carrier's charges if you leave the line enabled.
Can I use my laptop by sharing the eSIM's data?
The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Every connected device draws from the same allowance. Treat the data hotspot as one of the listed features, not a separate allowance, and pause laptop updates and cloud backups when tethering, especially on a smaller plan.
Which countries are covered by this plan?
The plan works only in Indonesia: Bali, Java, Lombok and the Gili islands where a supported network is available. Malaysia and Singapore are outside its coverage, and being covered on land does not guarantee a signal at sea.
Is one plan enough for Bali, Lombok and the Gili islands?
Yes. These places are in Indonesia, so this country plan applies where the supported network is available. Save boat tickets, the arrival pier and your next pickup offline. Reception on land does not establish coverage during a sea crossing.
Does my data reset each day or is it a fixed amount?
Each offer has a fixed total allowance for its displayed validity. It is not unlimited, it does not reset every day, and it is not a monthly subscription or a 'no contract' promise you can rely on without reading the purchase terms. The 30-day options last roughly one month, but the validity is 30 days, which may not match a calendar month. Choose enough data and enough days, and remember that hotspot devices share the same total.
Can I top up or extend my data plan?
Check the options supplied with your order before you try to top up or extend the plan. Buying a second plan does not automatically extend an existing one, preserve unused data or reuse an installed profile. Keep the installed profile in place while you sort out an issue.
What should I do if the eSIM can't connect to the internet?
Check you are in Indonesia, the line is enabled and selected for data, and the plan still has both data and validity remaining. Follow the supplied roaming and APN settings. Try airplane mode briefly or restart the phone, then move to another location. If the internet still will not connect, keep the eSIM installed and contact support with the order reference, phone model and location.
How do I prevent extra charges on my home SIM?
Turn off automatic mobile-data switching and keep data roaming disabled on your home SIM. Apply any travel-eSIM roaming setting only to the travel line. Your home carrier may still charge for calls and texts even when the eSIM supplies your data.
How can I get support or ask for a refund?
Keep your order reference and installation details ready when you contact support. Read the purchase conditions for refund eligibility and the effect of activation or use; do not assume a used plan still qualifies. Keep the installed profile while a connection problem is investigated.
Using your eSIM in Indonesia
An Indonesia eSIM for the trip you've planned
Use one Indonesia data plan for a Bali arrival, a few days around Ubud, a stay in Jakarta or a visit to family on your holiday. Size the allowance around bookings, online maps and calls made over messaging apps, and keep the next transfer saved offline before you move between islands.
Consider 10 GB for 30 days at €6.41 when video calls or frequent uploads are likely. For lighter use, 3 GB for 30 days at €2.05 stretches the same allowance over a month, while 3 GB for 7 days at €2.05 suits a shorter stay. There is no package for 1 day or for one day, and no plan valid for 14 days; the shortest validity is 7 days, so a trip of 2 weeks requires choosing between a 7-day plan and a 30-day plan. Every offer is a fixed total allowance, not a daily refill.
4G on land, no promise at sea
Listed networks: XL Axiata Indonesia, Smartfren. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. Both operators run on 4G/LTE, and signal quality varies with your phone and location. Save boarding details and your arrival pickup before a boat trip. A country plan does not guarantee connectivity offshore or in the air.

Bali: settle the pickup before you leave arrivals
I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport lists app-based pickup points, including a Grab Lounge in the arrival pick-up zone and a Gojek Customer Lounge at the international drop zone and domestic arrival hall. Follow the airport's current instructions for the service you chose instead of assuming every driver stops at the same exit.
Before landing, ask your host for the villa entrance and written directions. Once you have a connection, confirm the driver's name and meeting place, then share the accommodation pin. Nearby properties with similar names can make a broad search result useless.
Keep an offline copy of the transfer confirmation and the host's directions. A data-only plan carries app messages, but it has no local phone number to receive a new account's SMS verification code.
Save before you goDriver contact, booking reference, villa entrance and the host's written directions.
Ubud: save the route before you head out
Indonesia's tourism board describes Ubud as a central Bali town known for its rice terraces and cultural visits. Pick the specific village or attraction for your outing, then ask your accommodation or driver to confirm the entrance and return plan.
A single map pin for Ubud is too vague for a pickup outside the centre. Save your driver's contact, your accommodation gate and the agreed return time before you set off on a walk or a trip into the countryside.
If you plan to work from your lodging, test the connection at the exact spot before booking a long video meeting. Hotspot use draws from the same allowance, and a bigger plan does not guarantee stronger signal in a valley or inside a building.
Save before you goThe entrance for your destination, driver contact, agreed return time and your accommodation gate.
Jakarta: plan a district at a time
Jakarta's old town centres on Kota Tua, with the Sunda Kelapa harbour nearby. Decide which district you are visiting before setting a pickup, then check the current route for that trip.
Use data to send the exact entrance to your driver or pull up a booking while moving between districts. Download any tourism guide on Wi-Fi beforehand so you can consult it without repeatedly fetching a large file.
If Jakarta is followed by another island, save the next flight or boat booking and the destination pickup before you leave. The same Indonesia allowance works where the supported network is available, but it does not provide an unbroken connection along every transfer.
Save before you goYour selected district, pickup entrance, next booking reference and accommodation address.
