🇮🇩 eSIM for Bali
Bali runs on apps. Ride-hailing is how you get anywhere for a sensible price, villa and warung directions are a dropped pin rather than an address, and the arrival formalities now expect a phone that works before you have left the terminal.

Using your eSIM in Bali
Bali runs on apps. Ride-hailing is how you get anywhere for a sensible price, villa and warung directions are a pin on a map, and the arrival formalities now expect a phone that works before you have left the terminal. The plans on this page list 3, Fren/Hepi, Indosat, PT Natrindo Telepon Seluler, Smartfren, Telkomsel and XL as the networks the eSIM can attach to.
Coverage is good across the south — Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud — and along the main roads north and east. 5G is on 13 of these 14 plans, not all of them. Each plan card in the app states which. Signal drops on the mountain roads and on the smaller islands, so download the map of any day trip before you set off.
Ngurah Rai has SIM counters after immigration, but they mean a queue and a passport scan at the end of a long flight. The alternative is a minute on wi-fi at home: scan the QR in the app, turn data roaming on for the Num line, turn it off for your home line, and let the APN set itself. The plan waits until it first connects in Indonesia.
Sizes run from 500 MB over 1 day at $3.28 to 50 GB over 180 days at $92.25. Every plan here can be topped up from the app without reinstalling anything. The plan is an Indonesia plan, so it carries on working if you continue to Lombok, the Gilis or Java. Right for a one- or two-week stay on the island where a ride-hailing app is your transport.
Practical notes for Bali
- Coverage is good across the south — Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud — and along the main roads north and east.
- Ride-hailing apps are effectively the local transport system, and they need data to book, not just to look.
- Ngurah Rai has SIM counters after immigration, but they mean a queue and a passport scan at the end of a long flight.
- Heading on to Lombok, Java or the Gilis? The same plan covers all of Indonesia — see the Indonesia page.
How to get connected
- Download Num and pick Bali.
- Choose a plan and pay with Apple Pay.
- Scan the QR code the app gives you — Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM.
- Turn on data roaming for the Num line when you land.
Questions about Bali
How much does an eSIM for Bali cost?
Plans start at $3.24. The table on this page shows current prices — 14 options ranging from short trips to month-long stays. These are the prices you pay in the app; there are no separate activation or delivery fees.
Will my phone work with a Bali eSIM?
Most iPhones from the XR and XS onward support eSIM, and the handset must be carrier-unlocked. Check the compatibility page for the full list before you buy.
When does the plan start counting down?
Validity begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in the coverage area, not when you buy it. You can install it before you travel and it will wait until you land.
Can I keep my normal number while using it?
Yes. The Num eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM, so calls and texts on your usual number keep working while data runs over the travel plan. Turn your normal line's data roaming off to avoid a roaming bill.
Can I add more data if I run out?
Yes — reloadable plans can be topped up from inside the app without buying a new eSIM or reinstalling anything.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Bali?
Num does not sell unlimited plans for Bali. The closest are the daily-allowance plans, such as 2 GB per day, which give a fixed amount each day for the length of the trip. For most travellers the fixed bundles, from 500 MB to 50 GB, are better value.
Which networks does a Num Bali eSIM use?
It connects to 3, Fren/Hepi, Indosat, PT Natrindo Telepon Seluler, Smartfren, Telkomsel and XL and picks the strongest available network automatically. 13 of the 14 plans support 5G; the rest run on 4G/LTE.
Do I get a Bali phone number with the eSIM?
No. Num eSIMs are data-only. Your own number stays active on your existing SIM for calls and texts, and WhatsApp, iMessage and other messaging apps keep working over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number, see our guide to eSIMs with a phone number.
What is the best eSIM for Bali?
It depends on how long you stay and how much you use maps and video. On this page the best value per gigabyte is 10 GB total for 30 days at $9.63 ($0.96); the trip-length picks match a plan to a weekend, a week, two weeks and a month.
