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 truly unlimited data eSIM for Indonesia. The only plan with “Unlimited” in its name – Indotel – Unlimited – has a daily data cap of 3 GB; after that daily allowance the connection speed is throttled to 1000 kbps.
Instead, Airalo offers several fixed‑data plans that give travelers a large amount of high‑speed data before any throttling occurs. For example, the Indotel – 20 GB plan is valid for 30 days and costs $35.00, while the Asialink – 100 GB plan is valid for 180 days and costs $185.00. These options are typically more cost‑effective for heavy data users than a capped “unlimited” plan.
Does Airalo offer Indonesia eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Airalo does not provide an eSIM for Indonesia that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The eSIM plans sold in Indonesia are data‑only, giving travelers 4G/5G internet access for the plan’s validity period. Voice calls and text can still be sent and received over the internet through popular VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, and others, which do not require a traditional phone number or SMS feature.
How many data plans does Airalo offer for Indonesia?
Airalo currently offers 7 single coverage data plans specifically for Indonesia, alongside 20 multi country plans that include Indonesia as part of their coverage. These plans vary, with options for both fixed data amounts (like 1GB or 100GB) and one plan offering a daily data allowance. Prices range from approximately $4.50 to $185.00, and plans are valid for between 7 and 365 days. Some plans may experience reduced speeds after a certain data usage threshold.
