Mobile data in Bali and Indonesia without roaming charges
Why sort out data before you fly to Bali
Indonesia is far outside the EU's «roam like at home» zone, so EU and UK operators charge it as a separate zone: a costly day pass or a charge per megabyte, and a two-week Bali holiday adds up fast. And after a long-haul flight nobody wants to look for a SIM counter at Bali airport and queue with a passport.

A travel eSIM is bought at home and installs in a minute, so your phone is online on Telkomsel, Indosat or XL, with 5G in the cities, as soon as you land in Bali or Jakarta. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and bank texts.
How much data do you need
- Two weeks in Bali (maps, Grab, WhatsApp, photos): 5 GB for 30 days at $9.49.
- Bali, the Gilis, Lombok and Komodo in one trip, lots of video, a hotspot for a laptop: 10 GB for $14.69, 20 GB for $22.99 or unlimited (a week for $21.49, 15 days for $40.49).
- A few days or a stopover in Jakarta: 1 GB for 7 days from $2.49.
- Not sure? Work it out in 30 seconds with the data calculator.
Taxis and transport
- Grab and Gojek work in Bali, Jakarta, Lombok and most cities: a car or a motorbike taxi, the price is fixed in advance. The same apps deliver food.
- In Bali some tourist areas don't let app drivers pick up passengers. The driver will then ask you to walk a few hundred metres, which is easy to sort out in the app chat.
- Bali airport (Ngurah Rai): app taxis pick up at a separate zone, which is hard to find without data.
- The islands: fast boats from Bali to Nusa Penida, the Gilis and Lombok are booked online and the ticket is shown on your phone. For Komodo you fly to Labuan Bajo and continue by boat.
Where it works and where it doesn't
Coverage is good in Bali, Jakarta, Lombok and on the Gili islands. At sea between the islands, in Komodo National Park and on remote Nusa Penida beaches the signal can drop. Download offline maps before you go.
Entry: visa, arrival card and the Bali levy
- Visa: UK and EU citizens can get an e-VOA in advance on the official site evisa.imigrasi.go.id. It gives 30 days and can be extended once by another 30.
- All Indonesia: the free digital arrival card is filled in on allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before arrival.
- Bali levy: IDR 150,000 per foreign visitor, children included, once per trip. Pay it only on the official site lovebali.baliprov.go.id or in the Love Bali app: other «levy sites» are scams.
- Rules change, so check your foreign ministry's travel advice before you fly.
Local SIM card and IMEI
The biggest operators are Telkomsel, Indosat and XL. Tourist SIMs are sold at the airport with your passport. A phone brought from abroad works with an Indonesian SIM for up to 90 days, and for longer stays its IMEI has to be registered with customs. A travel eSIM works as roaming, so no phone registration is needed and your own SIM stays in the phone.
Good to know
- WhatsApp is the main messenger here: villa owners, drivers and dive centres all use it.
- Season: Bali is mostly dry from about April to October, from November to March downpours are more frequent.
- Money: cafés in Bali take cards, markets and small warungs want cash in rupiah.
- Translation: Google Translate with the camera reads menus and signs.
- Also going to Thailand or Vietnam? Have a look at the regional plan Southeast Asia.

- After landing, set the eSIM as your mobile data line and turn on data roaming on it (that's free, the price is in the plan).
