eSIM for Indonesia
Buy a prepaid travel eSIM for Indonesia and pay in cryptocurrency. You get local 4G/5G data on partner networks without a contract or a local address. No documents, no account and no email: you pay in crypto and the QR code appears on the page.
Part of our Asia plan.
Buying an eSIM for Indonesia
- Pick a plan that covers Indonesia — a single-country plan is cheapest per gigabyte, a regional plan pays off the moment you cross a border.
- Pay with USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL, TON or XMR. No email address, no account, no card.
- Scan the QR that appears on the page. Do this at home over Wi-Fi rather than on airport Wi-Fi after landing.
- On arrival, set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming ON for it. This is the single most common reason a correctly installed profile shows no data in Indonesia.
Coverage and network quality in Indonesia
Good coverage across most of Bali, Lombok and Java. Remote islands and inland Sumatra vary.
Mobile data in Indonesia: Bali and beyond
Indonesia's largest network is Telkomsel, with the widest coverage across the islands. Indosat (IM3, Tri) and XL are strong in cities and in Bali's south. In Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and Uluwatu data is fast on any of them. On Nusa Penida, in north Bali, on the Mount Batur trek and on smaller islands around Lombok, coverage gets patchy.
Local SIM cards in Indonesia are registered to a passport, and tourist SIMs from airport kiosks are sold at tourist prices. With an eSIM you land at Ngurah Rai and open Grab or Gojek right away.
Grab and Gojek also handle food delivery and scooter taxis, and they're how most visitors get around Bali without renting a scooter.
Bali is also where people stay longest. Digital nomads on one- or two-month stays usually work from coworking Wi-Fi and use mobile data for everything else: maps, scooter rides, video calls on the move. For that, a 30-day plan or unlimited makes sense.
Which plan to pick for Indonesia
- A one-week holiday: 3 GB.
- Two to four weeks in Bali: 10 GB for 30 days, or unlimited for 15 or 30 days.
- Bali plus Singapore, Malaysia or Thailand: the Southeast Asia plan.
- Calls and SMS: regional plans with a number cover Indonesia. The number is from another country, shown on the card on the number page.

eSIM vs roaming vs a local SIM in Indonesia
- Roaming on your home plan is the expensive default — typically $10–15 a day, billed per day whether you use it or not.
- A local prepaid SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival, usually an ID, and a phone number you will not keep. In Indonesia, that trade only makes sense on a long stay.
- A travel eSIM sits in between: local-network speeds, no shop visit, no paperwork, and your own number stays live on your physical SIM for calls and SMS.

Frequently asked questions
Is the coverage good enough to work remotely from Bali?
In the south and around Ubud, yes, for calls and everyday work. For big uploads, coworking Wi-Fi is still faster.
Does it work on Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands?
In the main villages, mostly yes. On the coast roads and remote beaches, expect gaps.
Do I need a passport?
No. You pay in crypto and get the QR code on the page.
