Questions
What is the best eSIM for Indonesia?
For most trips, 5 GB for 30 days is enough: $4.79 here, against $13.50 at Airalo for the same data (read 31 Oct 2026). It is data only and needs no app: the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email. For heavy use there is also a Day Pass: 3 GB a day at full speed. Every brand's price for Indonesia, dated and sourced, is on our comparison page.
Is there an unlimited eSIM for Indonesia?
Yes: our Day Pass is unlimited data, 3 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps with no cut-off, and 7 days cost $21.90 here. Other brands' "unlimited" plans for 7 days: Ubigi $24.00 (unlimited, 20 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps); Jetpac $25.99 (first 3 GB every 24 hours at standard network speeds); Airalo $27.00 (unlimited with a daily high-speed allowance); Holafly $27.50 (unlimited) (prices read 30 Oct to 31 Oct 2026). Read each one's terms: "unlimited" often means a daily allowance at full speed.

Every one of these lasts 30 days: 3 GB $3.69, 5 GB $4.79, 10 GB $7.79, 20 GB $13.19, 50 GB $26.69. The 30 days start when the eSIM first connects to a network there, so you can buy before the trip.
Can I buy an Indonesia eSIM without an app?
Yes. You pay on this page and the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email: no app and no account. It is data only, with no phone number, so your home SIM keeps your calls and SMS.
Does the Indonesia eSIM come with a phone number?
No. It is data only: no local number, calls or SMS on this eSIM. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to them), and WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal calls run over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number in Indonesia, for example for a service that texts a code, buy a local SIM there.

For 7 days: 1 GB $2.49. The 30-day packs cover one or two weeks too: 3 GB $3.69, 5 GB $4.79. Day Pass, 3 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps: 7 days $21.90, 14 days $40.90.
