How to set up your eSIM for Indonesia
It takes about five minutes, and you can do it all before your trip.
- 1
Check your phone
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06#: if you see an EID number, it supports eSIM.
- 2
Buy and install at home
Pick a plan, then scan the QR code or install it in the Airalo or Saily app while you are on Wi-Fi, a day or two before you fly.
- 3
Switch on when you land
In Indonesia, turn on the eSIM line, set it for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line only.
- 4
Keep your own number
Leave your home SIM on for calls and SMS, but turn off its data roaming so you are not charged by your home network.
Good to know: coverage is strong in Bali, Jakarta, Lombok and other cities. On boat trips to Komodo, small islands and in the mountains the signal can drop on any network, so download offline maps before you go.
Indonesia eSIM questions
Which is better for Indonesia, Airalo or Saily?
Both work well in Indonesia. Airalo has more small, short data packs and starts from $4.50. Saily starts from $4.79, runs on Telkomsel (the network with the widest coverage outside the big cities) and includes hotspot on all plans. Use the plan finder above to see which is cheaper for your trip.
Does an eSIM work in Bali, Lombok and Komodo?
Yes. Both eSIMs work across Bali, Lombok, Java and other islands with 4G and, in some areas, 5G. On boats, small islands and in the mountains the signal can be weak on any network.
Will my phone work with an eSIM?
Most iPhones from the XS and XR onward, recent Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and many other phones support eSIM. The phone must be unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number to check.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install it at home on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly. The plan days usually start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Indonesia, so installing early does not use up your plan.
Do I get an Indonesian phone number?
No. Airalo and Saily Indonesia eSIMs are data only. You keep your own number on WhatsApp, and you can make calls over WhatsApp, FaceTime or other apps.
Can I keep my home SIM active?
Yes. Most phones can use a physical SIM and an eSIM together. Keep your home SIM on for calls and SMS codes, and turn off data roaming on it to avoid charges.
Do I need to register my phone (IMEI) in Indonesia?
Local Indonesian SIM cards are tied to an IMEI registration done when you buy them at the airport or a shop. A travel eSIM from Airalo or Saily is set up before you fly and works when you land, with no SIM shop visit. If you stay for many months, check the provider's help pages.
How much data do I need for Indonesia?
Maps, WhatsApp and Grab use around 0.3 GB a day. With social media and photos plan for about 0.7 GB a day, and 1.5 GB or more if you stream video or make video calls. If you work remotely or share a hotspot, pick an unlimited plan.
