“I used Jetpac eSIM in Bali. It worked perfectly, but outside of Bali, the network speed decreased significantly. Otherwise, the experience was smooth. If you plan your trip outside of Bali for most of the time, then you should consider something else.”

“Their eSIM works on the 3 (Tri) network, which isn’t as strong as TSEL but offered mostly decent coverage. Speeds were solid, with latency under 100ms (better than I expected). Not much to complain about. Can recommend.”

“Worked great 95% of the time. Speeds were 100+mbps in most areas in all the countries I visited. Ping was around 60-200ms.
Two downsides:
1. ChatGPT or apps blocked in Hongkong do not work anymore without VPN
2. In very crowded places internet would slow down a lot”

“I used it only for a few days, but it worked without any issues. The signal was consistently available, and I was able to use Personal Hotspot to share data with my laptop, which was really convenient. However, the price is definitely not on the cheap side. Without the promo code discount, it wouldn't have been my first choice.”

“Used Jetpac eSIM for my trip to Bali because it was pretty good price during a sale.
Although the IP address was from the US, the internet breakout was in Singapore.
I wouldn't say the connection quality was exceptionally good, but it was decent enough without any major inconveniences, so it certainly passed the test.

While in Bali, it connected to Tri (3) network, and the signal was generally fine. If the price is more or less the same or cheaper, I might consider using it again for my next trip.”

“Sim Card worked fine initially, however after a few days, the sim stopped working. Airhub provided replacements that lasted again a few days”

“We went on a round-trip in Bali. Installation of the eSim was easy and network coverage and speed were excellent everywhere”

“Attention, a payment gateway fee will be charged in addition to the displayed price, but the amount will not be displayed anywhere when paying by credit card! This is illegal, it is not allowed to charge more than indicated and you can therefore request a charge back from the credit card company. In my case, the surcharge was 38%! The app is also terrible, you can't see how much data volume is left. Avoid this dubious company!”

“Just bought esim. It installed successfully, but the is “no service” tag. Support for not answering, pulling me constant automatic texts in WhatsApp.
I noticed in the Airalo app that traffic I just bought aka “my package” is “not active”. There is explanations or guide on how to “activate” the paid and installed esim.”

“Tried their Smart Traveller eSIM and it worked great! It connects to Digi in Malaysia, and XL in Indonesia. Both 4G. It roams via Thailand but decent speed, no trouble at all. Tethering worked too. No fancy app or anything but it just works.”

“It worked really well for my trip to Jakarta. You just need to change APN and turn on data roaming, then it connects to XL or Indosat 4G in Indonesia. Speed is good and stable, ping is acceptable (it roams through Singapore). Overall good experience. Recommended.”

Indonesia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Indonesia

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Indonesia, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are about 130 travel eSIM brands available for use in Indonesia, and more than 8, 200 prepaid data plans have been offered. The extensive assortment of plans allows travelers to easily find an eSIM that fits their data needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Indonesia?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for Indonesia, each with short validity periods and a price range that spans from around $2.30 to $29.00 USD. Many of these plans allow tethering, but the carrier may throttle speed; for example, abesteSIM includes a reduced speed of 128 kbps and a 5 Mbps speed limit on the fastest tier, while Yoho Mobile caps speed at 5 Mbps as well. The other providers—Billion Connect, MicroEsim, Roamify, Truely, and Yesim—state that speed may be throttled but do not list specific limits in their features. The validity of these unlimited plans typically falls between one and twenty days, with the shortest being one day and the longest reaching twenty days. Travelers looking for an unlimited option should consider the potential speed throttling and choose a plan that matches their need for reliable data during their stay.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Indonesia?

Indonesia's mobile telecommunications sector is served by several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Telkomsel: The largest mobile network operator in Indonesia, offering extensive coverage and a wide range of services, including 4G and 5G networks.
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison: Formed from the merger of Indosat Ooredoo and Hutchison 3 Indonesia, this operator provides mobile voice and data services, focusing on expanding their 4G and 5G network infrastructure.
XLSmart: A joint venture between Axiata Group and Sinar Mas, resulting from the merger of XL Axiata and Smartfren, offering a broad spectrum of telecommunications services, including mobile and fixed-line offerings, with a focus on enhancing digital experiences.

In Indonesia, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not prevalent. Most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the major MNOs listed above.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Indonesia?

Travelers to Indonesia can find several eSIM plans that include a phone number, voice calls, and SMS. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel, Roamify, eSimfly, Earth Esim, and TravelKon offer packages ranging in price from about $4 for a 1GB, 7‑day plan to around $41 for a 20GB, 30‑day plan, with validity periods spanning from 7 days up to 365 days.

All of these plans provide inbound and outbound voice capability and support inbound or inbound/outbound SMS, but the phone numbers are issued under foreign dialing codes—mostly +1 for the United States, +33 for France, and 48 (Poland)—so they are not local Indonesian numbers. Travelers who need a local Indonesian number would need to seek a different option or a local SIM.
