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 high‑speed data eSIM for Indonesia. The plans that use the word “Unlimited” in their name actually offer a 3GB/day allowance; once that limit is reached the speed is throttled to 1000 kbps. For travelers seeking truly high‑speed data without a daily cap, Airalo offers fixed‑data options such as the Indotel – 50 GB plan, valid for 30 days and priced at $42.00 USD, or the Asialink – 50 GB plan, which can be purchased for 30 days at $79.00 USD or for 90 days at $69.00 USD. These fixed‑data plans may be more cost‑effective for users who expect to consume more than a few gigabytes of data during their trip.
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 provides a total of 58 data plans for Indonesia, split between 18 single‑country offerings and 40 multi‑country packages. The plans feature a mix of daily data caps—12 available packages that limit usage each day—and fixed data caps—46 packages that set a total data allowance for the plan’s whole validity period. Prices for these plans fall between approximately $4.00 and $89.00, while data caps range from 1 GB up to 100 GB, giving travelers a broad spectrum of options to match their usage needs.
