These Indonesia plans are data-only, with no Indonesian phone number. Keep your home SIM on for bank and app SMS codes.
Why Indonesia is different
Three online forms, all official. Since 1 October 2025 every arriving passenger completes the free All Indonesia declaration. Most visitors also need a visa, which many passports can buy online as an e-Visa on Arrival. And Bali charges foreign tourists a levy of IDR 150,000 (see entry).
A travel eSIM avoids the IMEI step. Indonesian customs says visitors roaming on a foreign SIM don’t need to register their phone’s IMEI. Tourists who buy a local Indonesian SIM do have to register it (see IMEI).
Networks differ by provider. Nomad lists Telkomsel and XLSMART. Airalo names Indosat among its networks, and Ubigi lists Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison. Holafly, Saily, Yesim and Maya didn’t name one on the pages we read.
Quick picks
A week or two, normal use
A 10 GB / 30-day fixed plan. Ubigi listed $16, Nomad $19 and Yesim $19.20.
Heavy use or tethering
A week of unlimited data costs $24 from Ubigi. Airalo ($27.00) and Holafly ($27.50) cost more. Maya’s global plan is $19.99.
Islands and rural areas
Nomad is the only provider here that names Telkomsel, alongside XLSMART. 10 GB for 30 days costs $19; unlimited comes in 5 days ($18) or 10 days ($33).
A month or more
Nomad’s 50 GB for 30 days costs $39, the lowest of that size here. For a month of unlimited, Maya’s global plan ($49.99) beats every country plan we found.
Step 1: Size your plan for Indonesia
Maps, ride-hailing, transit apps and messaging use little data. Uploading photos and videos and making video calls use much more. As a rough guide, maps and messaging use hundreds of megabytes a day, while video and video calls can use several gigabytes. These are general estimates, not measurements.
Under a week, maps, messages and transport apps
3–5 GB fixed plan
1–2 weeks, photos, social apps and video
10–20 GB fixed, or unlimited
Remote work from Bali, video calls, tethering a laptop
Unlimited, after checking its fair-use and hotspot rules
Step 2: Compare published prices
Unlimited plans by trip length
| Days | Airalo | Nomad | Holafly | Ubigi | Yesim |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $11.00 (lowest listed) | — | $11.90 | — | $12.60 |
| 5 days | $19.00 | $18 (lowest listed) | $20.50 | — | $21.00 |
| 7 days | $27.00 | — | $27.50 | $24 (lowest listed) | $29.40 |
| 10 days | $34.00 | $33 (lowest listed) | $37.50 | — | $35.93 |
| 15 days | $48.00 | — | $51.50 | $40 (lowest listed) | $46.80 |
| 30 days | $69.00 | — | $76.50 | $59 (lowest listed) | $68.40 |
Lowest listed price in the row — means no plan of that length was listed. Holafly ($3.90) and Yesim ($4.20) also sell a single day. Maya sells one global unlimited plan at the same price for every country: $9.99 for 3 days, $19.99 for 7, $27.99 for 14 and $49.99 for 30 (see Maya). Official pages, checked 4 November 2026.
Fixed-data plans
| Data | Airalo | Nomad | Saily | Ubigi | Yesim |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | $4.503 days | $47 days | $4.797 days | $47 days | $3.0030 days (lowest listed) |
| 3 GB | $8.507 days | $830 days | $8.9930 days | $715 days (lowest listed) | $8.4030 days |

Lowest listed price in the row Validity differs, so compare the small print as well as the price. Where a provider sells the same data amount for several lengths, we show the longest. Airalo also lists shorter versions (for example 10 GB for 7 days at $19.00). Ubigi also lists 10 GB for 7 days ($14) and 25 GB for 30 days ($28). Yesim also lists 30 GB for $33.60. Official pages, checked 4 November 2026.
Step 3: Check the fine print
- Networks. Nomad: Telkomsel and XLSMART. Airalo: Indosat and others. Ubigi: Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison. Holafly, Saily, Yesim and Maya didn’t name one.
- Unlimited isn’t always unlimited. Ubigi says data sharing is allowed but a fair-use policy may apply. Holafly’s plans are unlimited by the day. Where it states a hotspot rule (its Canada and Italy pages), sharing is limited to 1 GB a day, so check the plan page if you plan to tether. Airalo’s Indonesia page didn’t state a fair-use limit.
- Activation windows. Nomad starts a plan automatically 60 days after purchase if you haven’t used it. Yesim and Saily give 180 days. Ubigi’s plan starts when you arrive.
- No Indonesian number. These plans are data-only. Saily sells an optional US phone number, and Yesim offers a 20-minute calling add-on.

Ubigi
- Indonesia from
- $41 GB / 7 days
- 10 GB / 30 days
- $16
- Unlimited
- $247 days; $40 for 15; $59 for 30

What to watch
It doesn’t name a network and hotspot depends on the operator. Its week of unlimited ($29.40) is the highest here.
Maya
- 3 days
- $9.99unlimited data
- 7 days
- $19.99unlimited data
- 30 days
- $49.99unlimited data
What stands out
The lowest price we found for 3, 7 or 30 days of unlimited data. It’s one global plan, so the same eSIM keeps working if Indonesia is one stop of several. Maya’s page says "No caps, no throttling."
What to watch
It renews automatically while Travel Mode is on, so turn it off when you get home. The page we read doesn’t name the local networks or spell out a fair-use policy, and we haven’t tested the no-throttling claim.
Will your phone work?
- eSIM-capable and unlocked. Apple lists iPhone XS, XS Max, XR or later. Settings → General → About should say "No SIM restrictions" next to Carrier Lock (full checklist).
- Bought in mainland China? Apple says that in China mainland only the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPhone 17e and iPhone Air support eSIM. Many older mainland models use two physical SIM cards instead, so check for Add eSIM in your settings before you buy a plan.
- Bought in Hong Kong or Macau? Apple notes that certain iPhone models sold there have two nano-SIM slots. Check for Add eSIM in your settings first.
- Install before you fly. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi and leave the line switched off until you land (install guide).
Phones and the IMEI rule
Indonesia registers phones by IMEI. The customs office at Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport says inbound international roamers using a foreign SIM don’t need to register, which covers travel eSIMs like the ones above. Tourists staying up to 90 days who want to use a local Indonesian SIM register at the operator’s outlet.
Entry: forms, visa and the Bali levy
| Step | What it is | When and where |
|---|---|---|
| All Indonesia | Mandatory arrival declaration (immigration, customs and health) that replaced the paper customs card. You get a QR code. | From 3 days before arrival on allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id or the app; it can also be done on arrival |
| e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) | For eligible passports: IDR 500,000, 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days | Apply and pay by card on evisa.imigrasi.go.id before you fly |
| Bali tourist levy | IDR 150,000 per foreign tourist, paid once per trip to Bali | Pay on lovebali.baliprov.go.id before or on arrival |
Who needs a visa depends on your passport; check the Directorate General of Immigration’s eligibility list. Checked 4 November 2026.
Use the official sites
Use the official sites: allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id, evisa.imigrasi.go.id and lovebali.baliprov.go.id. All Indonesia is free. Look-alike sites may charge extra for the same forms.
Our take
For most trips, Ubigi’s 10 GB for 30 days at $16 is the lowest-cost plan that covers normal use. If you’re heading beyond Bali and want a provider that names Telkomsel, Nomad’s 10 GB is $19. For unlimited, Ubigi’s week is $24, or Maya’s global plan is $19.99. Do the All Indonesia form and the Bali levy online before you land.
