Indonesia: 20 plans, 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 carry Indonesia cover. The widest spans 5 countries — worth it if this is one stop of several rather than the whole trip.
Regional coverage starts at £4.10 for 1 GB over 1 day.
A Indonesia travel eSIM is a digital SIM that downloads straight to your phone — no plastic card, no queuing at an airport counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (the QR code is in there too), and your phone adds a second line alongside your normal SIM. It stays dormant until your trip begins, then connects automatically to Smartfren, Telkomsel, XL on 5G where available, LTE everywhere else. Your normal number carries on working for calls and texts while the eSIM handles the data.
Maps, messaging and taxi apps use very little data — roughly 300–500 MB a day. If you add photos, social media and the occasional video, expect to use closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip, a 5 GB plan is usually plenty; for two weeks, tethering, or heavy use, opt for 10 GB or more, or choose a top-up plan you can reload as you go. Indonesia plans start at £4.10 across 5 sizes, with the per-GB price clearly shown so you can easily spot the best value.
Yes. A Indonesia travel eSIM is a local data plan rather than international roaming — you pay the price you saw online, and there are no per-megabyte charges from your home network provider. Set the eSIM as your mobile data line, switch data roaming off on your normal SIM, and nothing unexpected turns up on your next bill. Full refund at any time before installation, so buying ahead costs you nothing.

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.
