Buying an eSIM for Indonesia

  1. 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.
  2. Pay with USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL, TON or XMR. No email address, no account, no card.
  3. Scan the QR that appears on the page. Do this at home over Wi-Fi rather than on airport Wi-Fi after landing.
  4. 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.

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.
