20 plans for Indonesia, from 3 to 50 GB. Validity runs from 1 day to 30 days. 14 of them run on 5G where the local network has it.
11 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on Smartfren, Telkomsel, XL, Indosat.
Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure — the plan list above this section is the same data.
3 regional plans include Indonesia. The widest covers 5 countries — worth it if Indonesia is one stop of several, rather than the whole trip.
Regional coverage starts at $4.99 for 1 GB over 1 day.
A travel eSIM for Indonesia is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. It stays dormant until you arrive in Indonesia, then connects automatically to Smartfren, Telkomsel, XL on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM simply carries your data.
Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Indonesia plans start at $4.99 across 5 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.
No. A travel eSIM for Indonesia is a local data plan, not international roaming — you pay the price you see up front, with no per-megabyte bill from your home carrier. Set the eSIM as your data line and switch data roaming off on your home SIM, and there are no surprises when you get home. Full refund any time before you install, so there’s no risk in buying ahead.

Java and Bali
Indonesia connectivity guide
Indonesia is seventeen thousand islands and the coverage varies accordingly. Java and Bali are dense, fast and thoroughly served. Move east or into the interiors and the picture changes quickly, and by the time you reach Papua or the smaller Nusa Tenggara islands the network is a different proposition entirely. This guide covers which operators you get, how coverage degrades as you travel, the volcano and ferry gaps, and what an Indonesian trip actually consumes.
