eSIM plans for Indonesia

I got a voilà eSIM for my 3-week road trip in Indonesia: Java, Bali, Nusa Penida, the Gili Islands, and Lombok. With the 30 GB plan, I had seamless connection and good speeds throughout the whole trip, even on the ferries between islands where the local network stayed on 4G. I was able to top up right in the middle of my journey directly in the app, and the top-up didn't lead to any extra fees, unlike Airalo which I had used the year before. Zero roaming fees, unbeatable price. Nothing to complain about.

I used voilà for my trip to Bali (Denpasar, Seminyak, Ubud). Just as promised, I had internet from the moment I landed at Denpasar airport until the end of my stay. I picked a 10 GB plan—their data plans are clear—and I used the app to top up whenever I ran low on gigs, with instant activation every single time. Reliable coverage and stable speeds for Google Maps and Gojek, even while on a scooter inland. Honestly, in 2026, paying more elsewhere makes no sense when voilà exists.

Honest review: I tested the voilà eSIM in Indonesia and then in the Philippines during my backpacking trip, using a plan designed for multiple Asian countries. It's simpler and so much cheaper than Ubigi, which I had used before. The live data tracking in the app is a huge plus, super easy to use for managing your usage. No physical SIM cards to buy on-site, no IMEI registration upon arrival, and you just need to activate an eSIM before you leave for a quick connection even in somewhat remote areas. I recommend it.

Two weeks for two, 20 GB shared: Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu, then Lombok. Local 4G/5G network everywhere, except for a little dip at an isolated diving spot. We hesitated with Holafly, which focuses on the best eSIM with unlimited data. In the end, the voilà plan was the best price and more than enough for two. Hotspotting allowed us to keep my girlfriend's phone connected continuously. Only honest downside: you have to remember to enable data roaming in your settings when you arrive, otherwise it won't connect automatically. Once that's done, you don't have to touch a thing.

After a month as a digital nomad in Canggu and Ubud, I kept the same 50 GB plan for the whole trip. 5G in coworking spaces, hotspotting to connect my laptop, and seamless video calls. ChatGPT, my banking apps—everything works, with no blocked apps like I've experienced elsewhere. I had used Saily before, but the voilà eSIM price is cheaper per GB and the human support replied in just a few minutes on WhatsApp. In-app top-ups took 2 minutes when I needed them. The eSIM advantages are clear for anyone working on the move.

Family trip to Yogyakarta, Borobudur, and the rest of Java, with a 30 GB data-sharing plan. No roaming fees, no nasty surprises on the bill when we get back. Immediate installation before departure via the QR code received by email, instant connection as soon as we landed, and we had checked in advance that every device was compatible. Google Maps and WhatsApp to coordinate everyone, reliable coverage even outside the big cities. Simple to install, perfect for parents who aren't exactly tech geeks.

Solo, diving trip in the Gili Islands then heading to Komodo, 10 GB for 10 days. Local 4G network was decent on the islands, just a bit slow in the middle of the sea but that's normal. I used Airalo last year, clearly more expensive for an equivalent plan: here I found the most affordable eSIM plans I've ever seen. Instant activation upon arrival and usage tracking in the app, super practical so you don't get any surprises. Downside: 5G isn't everywhere on the small islands, but 4G definitely does the job for Maps and sending your photos.

Backpacker, 3 weeks between Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bali. Before, I used to buy a local Telkomsel or Indosat Ooredoo SIM card for 50,000 IDR at the airport, dealing with IMEI registration and passport checks instead of having a clear prepaid plan: a total nightmare. With voilà, the eSIM was activated before I left and I was connected as soon as I landed. 20 GB plan, unbeatable local rates, and stable speeds. It's data only, no local number, but for WhatsApp, Maps, and Gojek, it's more than enough. No more physical SIMs for me.

Not tech-savvy at all, this was my first eSIM. 5 GB plan for one week in Bali, between Seminyak and Uluwatu. Installation via the QR code received by email, and the voilà app is clear for tracking daily usage. Reliable 4G coverage everywhere I went. Honest downside: you have to activate the eSIM yourself, but the tutorial is clear and the human support replied very quickly on WhatsApp when I got stuck. Great value for money for a first try with voilà eSIM plans, I recommend it to travelers like me.
