Three things an Indonesia eSIM does that villa Wi-Fi never will
Villa Wi-Fi in Bali reaches the pool and not much further. The eSIM4 Indonesia eSIM goes with you on the scooter to Uluwatu, on the fast boat to the Gilis, into the Grab from Soekarno-Hatta, and it is live before you have cleared immigration at Ngurah Rai. Prices start at USD 2.98, the eSIM is a prepaid tourist eSIM with no physical SIM card, running on Telkomsel, Indosat and 3 (Tri) for high-speed mobile data, and the email with the QR code arrives within minutes of paying.
- Coverage across Indonesia: it follows you out of the villa. Gojek rides, the WhatsApp thread with the driver in Ubud, the boat ticket to Nusa Penida, the map on the road to Mount Bromo at four in the morning: all of that happens away from Wi-Fi, and this eSIM is working wherever Telkomsel, Indosat or 3 reach, which covers Bali, Lombok, Java, Yogyakarta, the main towns of Sumatra and Sulawesi and the ferry ports between them. Three networks on one plan means that when one carrier fades on a mountain road or a smaller island, your phone should automatically pick another.
- It is sized to the trip you are actually taking. A week in Seminyak or Canggu with maps, messages and the odd bank app: 1 GB over 7 days for USD 2.98. A month working from Ubud or hopping between Bali, Lombok and Java, with photos going home every evening: 3 GB or 5 GB over 30 days for USD 6.98 and 11.98. A surf week or a wedding where the phone never leaves your hand: unlimited data from 3 days at USD 9.98 to 7 days at USD 25.98. Every plan tops up online in a minute if the trip stretches.
- It starts on your schedule. Buy it today, install it tonight on Wi-Fi, switch on data roaming when you land, and nothing counts down until it first connects in Indonesia. Book the trip months ahead, buy the eSIM whenever you like, and the days you paid for are the days you are there.
Going on to Singapore, Thailand or Vietnam afterwards? The Asia eSIM covers Indonesia and the rest of the region on a single plan; 1 GB over 7 days is USD 3.98. For Indonesia alone the plan above gives you all three local networks at the lowest price; for a multi-country trip the Asia plan means one purchase for the whole itinerary.
Pick a plan, check out and stay connected from the arrivals hall; the QR code will beat you to the suitcase.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can, but a local SIM in Indonesia comes with two forms: the passport registration at the counter, and the customs IMEI registration that a foreign phone needs before a local SIM will keep working, which means a queue at the Bea Cukai desk on arrival. The counters at Ngurah Rai also price their tourist packs well above the shops in Denpasar. The Indonesia eSIM is a foreign line roaming on the local networks, so neither registration applies: no counter, no IMEI form and no physical SIM card to swap. Buy it at home, install it over Wi-Fi, and it is live when you land, with the Grab or Gojek to the villa booked from the arrivals hall, from USD 2.98 for a week.
Yes. Both run on your home account and the eSIM data, with the one-time code arriving on your home SIM, which stays in the phone the whole trip; the fast-boat booking sites, the airline apps and WhatsApp with the villa manager and the driver in Ubud work the same way. Nothing on the tourist trail needs an Indonesian number, and the eSIM carries the maps on the scooter to Uluwatu and the boat ticket to Nusa Penida.
Yes, by a wide margin. A day pass switches itself on the moment the phone finds an Indonesian network and bills every day of the trip, so a week in Canggu costs several times this plan. The Indonesia eSIM is paid once, from USD 2.98 for 1 GB over 7 days, with nothing that renews and nothing to switch off when you fly home, and tethering is included so a second phone shares it by the pool. Your Australian SIM stays in the phone for calls and the one-time codes your bank sends, with its data roaming left off.
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of swapping a plastic card, you scan a QR code, or tap one link on a recent iPhone, and the plan installs in about a minute alongside your existing SIM. Your home number stays exactly as it is, and you can switch between plans in Settings whenever you like.
You pay once, from a few dollars, instead of a daily roaming charge, and there is no airport kiosk, no ID check and no card to swap. Buy it at home, install it on Wi-Fi, and you land with maps, ride apps and WhatsApp already working in the arrivals hall. If plans change, every eSIM tops up online in about a minute.
As a guide: 1 GB covers a week of maps, messaging and a few photos a day; 5 GB over a month suits social media and daily browsing; 20 GB or unlimited suits streaming, video calls and working on the road. If in doubt, start small: every plan tops up online in about a minute, so you never pay for data you will not use.
Yes. Our regional plans cover many destinations on one eSIM, so a multi-stop trip needs nothing new at each border: Europe, Asia, Latin America, North America, Africa, Oceania and a World eSIM for trips that cross regions. The countries included are listed on each regional plan page, and you can combine a regional plan with a country plan for the best value.
No. Most people are done in under two minutes: scan the QR code from the activation email, or on iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later simply tap the Direct Installation link in the same email and the eSIM installs itself. Step-by-step guides are here for iPhone guide and Android guide, our support team is on hand, and a refund guarantee covers you if the eSIM cannot be installed on your device.
Most phones from the last five years support eSIM, including every iPhone from the XR onwards and recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. Check your model in our compatibility guide before you buy. If your phone was bought on a carrier contract it may need to be unlocked first, which your carrier can do.
Open the activation email, then on iPhone go to Settings, Cellular, Add eSIM and scan the QR code, or tap the Direct Installation link on iOS 17.4 or later. On Android go to Settings, Connections, SIM Manager and scan. Most phones can scan the QR code straight from a screenshot in your photo gallery, so no second phone is needed. Once the eSIM appears in your cellular settings it is installed and ready. Full walkthroughs: iPhone guide and Android guide.
Install it any time before you travel, on Wi-Fi at home: the eSIM does not expire while it sits on your phone. When you land, switch it on and enable data roaming, and your days start counting from that first connection abroad, not from the day you bought it. You can also install on arrival, as long as you have Wi-Fi to download the eSIM.
Yes. Your phone runs as a dual SIM, with your home SIM and the travel eSIM side by side, and most phones store several eSIMs at once with one active for data at a time. Keep a plan for each country on your trip and switch between them in Settings as you cross borders.
Yes. Tethering is included on every plan, so your laptop or a second phone can share the connection whenever you need it.
Your connection pauses rather than charging you more. Top up online in about a minute using the link in your activation email, or in the Yabb app, and you are back online with the same eSIM.
The activation email includes a link to a live usage page for your eSIM, so you can see exactly how much data is left at any time and top up before it runs out.
Top local carriers at up to 5G speeds. The network for this destination is shown above the plans on this page, and the eSIM connects to it automatically when you land.
Choose a 90-day plan where one is offered, or top up your existing plan as you go. Either way the eSIM stays on your phone for the whole trip.
Travel eSIMs are data only, which is exactly why there is no ID or address check to buy one. Everything you normally use runs on the data: WhatsApp, FaceTime, iMessage, Uber, maps and your bank app. If you want a real phone number for calls and SMS abroad, our Yabb app gives you calls, texts and a temporary local number without roaming charges. In a few countries we also sell plans that include a local number, minutes and texts, shown in the plan name; those minutes and texts are for local calls and local texts within that country only.
Yes. WhatsApp, iMessage and Signal stay on your existing number with every chat intact; there is nothing to re-register. The eSIM simply supplies the data they run on.
Yes, with your home SIM left in the phone. The eSIM carries all your data, and most carriers deliver incoming text messages to your home number abroad at no charge, so one-time codes from your bank, Google, Airbnb and the rest arrive exactly as they do at home. Keep the home SIM switched on with data roaming turned off, and only the eSIM uses data. Two things to know before you fly: making a call or sending a text from the home SIM is what triggers roaming charges on most carriers, so leave calling and texting to WhatsApp and the like, and a few carriers do charge for incoming texts or block them abroad, so a quick check with your carrier before you leave settles it.
