This video presents the results of Airalo’s travel eSIM testing across popular tourist spots in Bali, Indonesia, covering speed performance, latency, local network connectivity, and IP address details.
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.
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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airalo offer unlimited data eSIM for Indonesia?
Airalo does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for Indonesia. All of its so‑called “Unlimited” plans, such as Indotel – Unlimited, deliver a capped amount of high‑speed data, 3GB per day, and after that limit is reached the speed is reduced to 1000kbps. If unlimited high‑speed data is required, travelers will need to choose from Airalo’s fixed data plans. For example, the Asialink – 100GB plan offers 100GB of 5G data for 180 days at $185.00 USD, and the Indotel – 50GB plan provides 50GB for 30 days at $42.00 USD. Selecting a fixed data plan can often be more cost‑effective, especially for users who do not need an excessive amount of traffic.
Does Airalo offer Indonesia eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Airalo does not provide Indonesia eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. All of Airalo’s Indonesia data‑only eSIM offerings give you speed and connectivity but do not allow inbound or outbound voice calls or SMS messages. Travelers who need voice or text messaging can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection, which work without a local phone number.
How many data plans does Airalo offer for Indonesia?
Airalo offers 18 single‑country data plans that cover Indonesia only and 20 multi‑country packages that include Indonesia. The plans range from about $4.50 to $185, with data caps between 1 GB and 100 GB and validity periods from 3 to 365 days. Some of the plans are fixed‑data packages while a small portion feature daily data caps.
