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.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Indonesia?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers heading to Indonesia from several providers.

The price of unlimited plans ranges from free with Firsty to roughly $33 for higher‑tier options offered by Yesim and others; typical costs fall between about $2 and $30 depending on the provider, validity period, and network support. When choosing a plan, consider how long you will need connectivity, whether you plan to tether devices, and the speed limits that may apply, ensuring the data allowance comfortably covers your intended online usage during your 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?

Travel eSIM plans for Indonesia that include a phone number and SMS are available from GlobeSIM and Roamify. Both providers offer voice calls and SMS functionality, although the phone numbers use a foreign dialing code. GlobeSIM’s packages use the dialing code +1, giving an international number that can receive inbound calls and SMS and place outbound calls. Some Roamify packages also use +1 for voice and SMS, while a few provide numbers with the +33 dialing code; in all cases the number is not a local Indonesian (+62) number.

Prices for these plans start around $4.00 USD for a 1GB, 7‑day package and range up to $105.00 USD for a 20GB, 365‑day package. Validities span from 7 days to 365 days. When using such a plan, you can make and receive calls and send and receive SMS over the provided number, but you will be using a foreign number rather than a local Indonesian one.
