Simcardo connects to Indonesia's main operators (such as Telkomsel, Indosat and XL) through its network partners, with 4G/LTE and 5G in covered areas. Coverage is reliable across Bali's tourist areas (Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu), the major cities and airports. Rural and remote island areas may fall back to slower speeds, as with any provider.

Best plan for digital nomads in Bali

Frequently asked questions
Does an eSIM work in Bali and Indonesia?
Yes. Indonesia, including Bali, supports eSIM, and a Simcardo eSIM connects to local 4G/LTE and 5G networks. It works on eSIM-capable iPhone and Android phones and gives you data as soon as you land at Denpasar (DPS) or Jakarta (CGK).
How much does an eSIM for Indonesia cost?
Simcardo plans for Indonesia start at about €4.42 for 1 GB / 7 days. Monthly 3-20 GB plans run from roughly €9.90 to €51.90, and a 7-day unlimited plan starts around €27.90. You choose the amount of data that fits your trip.
How much data do I need for two weeks in Bali?
For a two-week holiday with maps, messaging, social media and some streaming, 5-10 GB is usually comfortable. If you work remotely or upload lots of photos and video, choose 20 GB or an unlimited plan.
Do I need to register a SIM in Indonesia?
Local physical SIM cards in Indonesia require passport registration at a store. A Simcardo eSIM skips all of that: you buy online, receive a QR code by email and install it yourself, with no registration and no shipping.
Will the eSIM work outside Bali, for example in Jakarta or Lombok?
Yes. Simcardo's Indonesia plans cover the whole country, so the same eSIM works in Bali, Jakarta, Lombok, Yogyakarta and beyond as long as there is network coverage.
How do I install my Indonesia eSIM?
After purchase you receive a QR code by email. Open your phone settings, add a mobile/cellular data plan, scan the QR code, and enable the Simcardo line with data roaming on when you arrive in Indonesia.
