Frequently Asked Questions โ€” eSIM Indonesia

Which phones work with eSIM in Indonesia?+

Any eSIM-compatible device works in Indonesia. This includes iPhone XS and later (except iPhone SE 1st gen), Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3a and later, and most recent Motorola, OnePlus, and Huawei flagship models. Check Settings โ†’ General โ†’ About โ†’ Available SIM to confirm.

How long does it take to set up a Indonesia eSIM?+

Installation takes 2โ€“5 minutes on a Wi-Fi connection. You receive a QR code by email immediately after purchase, scan it, and the plan is ready to activate when you land in Indonesia.

Can I keep my home number while using an eSIM in Indonesia?+

Yes โ€” that's the key advantage of eSIM. Your home SIM stays active for calls and SMS via Wi-Fi Calling. Your Indonesia eSIM handles mobile data at local rates. Dual-SIM phones can run both simultaneously.

What networks does an eSIM use in Indonesia?+

Top eSIM providers connect to Telkomsel and Indosat in Indonesia โ€” the same networks local residents use. Coverage is excellent in cities, airports, and major tourist areas. Rural coverage varies by carrier.

What happens when my Indonesia eSIM data runs out?+

You can top up directly in the provider's app without buying a new plan. Some providers (Saily, Yesim) also offer auto-renewal. Alternatively, your home roaming kicks in as a fallback.
