Using your mobile phone for internet and calls in Indonesia

Are you travelling to Indonesia soon and want to stay online without any hassle? With your current SIM card, the costs for calling and internet can add up quickly. Fortunately, there is a smart solution: a local SIM card or eSIM for Indonesia. This allows you to benefit from affordable local rates and stay connected at all times – whether you are surfing in Bali, visiting temples in Java or exploring nature in Sumatra.

Using your phone in Indonesia

Your mobile phone will work in Indonesia, but be aware that calling and using mobile internet in Indonesia with your own SIM card is expensive. The solution is a local SIM card for Indonesia or an eSIM for Indonesia. This will prevent unexpectedly high roaming charges. With ready-to-use SIM cards and eSIMs, you can get started as soon as you arrive:

• calling in Indonesia
• fast mobile internet in Indonesia for WhatsApp, Instagram, Google Maps, etc.
• receive free calls in Indonesia

For short trips such as a trip to Yogyakarta or Ubud, the 7-day Unlimited Indonesia bundle is ideal. Send your friends a selfie from the pink beaches of Komodo or from the Borobudur temples. Unlimited data is also perfect for a longer trip including Bali, Java and Lombok. This way, you can easily send a WhatsApp message about snorkelling with turtles at the Gili Islands.

Choosing a SIM card or eSIM in Indonesia

Mobile calling in Indonesia is affordable with an Indonesia SIM card or eSIM in your phone: local rates, no roaming. You avoid high costs for mobile data in Indonesia.

Will my phone work in Indonesia?

All modern phones can be used in Indonesia. When using a prepaid SIM card or eSIM for Indonesia, it is a good idea to check whether your device is SIM-free, but SIM locks are almost non-existent in Europe. If you order a SIM card or eSIM online, you don’t have to worry about compatibility if you’re wondering “can I use my phone in Indonesia ?”. The SIM cards for Indonesia can be used in any phone, and the eSIM for Indonesia works in any device that is compatible with eSIM.

The options for mobile internet and calling

There are three options for making phone calls and using mobile internet in Indonesia: roaming with your own SIM card, a local Indonesian SIM card, or a prepaid Indonesian eSIM. Roaming is usually expensive. Due to roaming charges outside Europe, travellers are faced with high bills for using their current subscription in Indonesia. It is mainly the costs for data that add up. Simple actions such as WhatsApp, navigation and email become unexpectedly expensive. To avoid this, choose a local solution so that you can make cheap calls and use the internet in Indonesia. eSIM is ideal for modern smartphones: activation is via a QR code that you receive by email and no physical card is required. There are several data bundles available, tailored to your usage and travel duration. Furthermore, the option for hotspot and tethering is included in many bundles so that you can also use mobile Wi-Fi in Indonesia.
