Bali eSIM — Stay Online in Bali & Across Indonesia
Heading to Bali? Your Bali eSIM gets you online the moment you land at Denpasar (DPS) — and it works across Indonesia. No plastic SIM, no roaming shock: scan a QR code and connect.
Why a Bali eSIM?
- Online on arrival — book a scooter or ride, load maps and message home straight from the airport.
- Covers Indonesia — the same plan works in Bali, Jakarta, the Gili Islands and beyond.
- Keep your number — data-only, so your home SIM stays in for calls and codes.
Perfect for exploring Bali
From the beaches of Seminyak and Uluwatu to the rice terraces and temples of Ubud, you'll want maps, ride apps and to share photos in real time. Coverage is strong in the main tourist areas.
How much data do you need?
Bali is made for sharing — for maps, messaging and posting, 5GB is a comfortable choice for a week or two. Working remotely or streaming a lot? Size up. You can add another plan anytime.
Set up before you fly
Install at home over Wi‑Fi and switch it on when you land. See our setup guide — about five minutes.

Bali travel data eSIM
What is a Bali eSIM?
A Bali eSIM gives visitors a data‑only connection as soon as they arrive in Indonesia. After scanning the QR code, the eSIM activates on the local operator networks and can be used throughout the entire country, not just the island of Bali. It eliminates the need for a physical SIM and avoids roaming charges, letting you stay online for maps, bookings and communication from the moment you land at Denpasar airport.
When you turn on the eSIM, it registers with Telkomsel 5G, XL 4G or Indosat 5G depending on the local network selection. The data plan runs for the purchased period, and you can use the connection for browsing, apps and hotspot while traveling anywhere in Indonesia. No extra steps are required after the initial activation.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operators does the Bali eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to Telkomsel 5G and XL 4G. This gives you access to the major Indonesian networks, so you can expect the same level of service you would have with a local SIM from any of these providers.
Does the plan work outside Bali in other parts of Indonesia?
Yes, the plan is an Indonesia‑wide eSIM. After activation it remains usable on the same operator networks wherever you travel within the country, from Java to Sumatra and the smaller islands.
Which plan size is best for a short trip to Bali?
For a typical 5‑day visit, the 1 GB / 7‑day plan often suffices for essential navigation and messaging. Travelers who anticipate heavier use, such as streaming or frequent uploads, may prefer the 3 GB / 30‑day option for added flexibility.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
