Using your eSIM in Indonesia
Indonesia on a data eSIM means Bali, Java and the major cities work well and the remote islands do not always. Ride-hailing, villa directions and ferry schedules all live in apps, and the arrival formalities now expect a phone that works before you leave the terminal. 3, Fren/Hepi, Indosat, PT Natrindo Telepon Seluler, Smartfren, Telkomsel and XL are the operators listed on our Indonesia plans; you do not choose between them, the phone does.
13 of the 14 plans list 5G and the rest are 4G — the app shows the speed on each plan before you pay. Directions here are often a dropped pin rather than an address, so keep some data in reserve for the day you move between towns. Coverage is patchy on the smaller islands whichever network the phone picks.
$3.28 buys 500 MB over 1 day; $92.25 buys 50 GB over 180 days. Every plan here can be topped up from the app without reinstalling anything. One plan covers the whole country, so Bali to Lombok or Java to the Gilis needs nothing new — the Bali page is the same product written for people who search for the island by name.
Install at home on wi-fi, turn data roaming on for the Num line, off for your home line, and leave the APN as the profile sets it. The plan starts when it first connects in Indonesia, not at purchase. Suits a stay of a week or more that goes beyond one island.
Practical notes for Indonesia
- Coverage is good in Bali, Java and major cities; remote islands are patchy.
- Local ride-hailing apps are effectively essential for getting around Bali affordably.
- Directions in Bali often depend on live maps rather than addresses, so keep data available.
How to get connected
- Download Num and pick Indonesia.
- 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 Indonesia
How much does an eSIM for Indonesia 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 Indonesia 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 Indonesia?
Num does not sell unlimited plans for Indonesia. 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 Indonesia 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 Indonesia 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 Indonesia?
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. The comparison page sets Num's prices against Airalo, Saily, Nomad, Simpal at matched plan sizes, including the sizes where we are not the cheapest.
