Check with the carrier you are with so that your phone is no longer restricted to its original network and free to operate on any carrier you choose, like an Indonesian prepaid SIM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Buy_a_SIM_card_or_eSIM_in_Bali\"><\/span>2. Buy a SIM card or eSIM in Bali<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can buy a <strong>Tourist SIM card<\/strong> or <strong>eSIM<\/strong> online at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bikagomobile.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bikago Mobile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can buy one of their <a href=\"https:\/\/bikagomobile.com\/bali-tourist-sim-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tourist SIM cards<\/a>, which you can collect at the airport immediately when you land, or have it delivered to your villa.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, if your phone supports eSIM (<a href=\"https:\/\/help.bikagomobile.com\/en\/articles\/332724-which-devices-support-esim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check here<\/a>) you can buy their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bikagomobile.com\/buy-esim-card-for-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tourist eSIM card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> online.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After making the purchase, you will receive the eSIM installation QR code within minutes after you have made the payment. You can then install the eSIM <strong>while you are still in your home country<\/strong> and activate it the moment you land in Bali.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The great thing about Bikago Mobile is that your SIM card or eSIM can be <strong>topped up online<\/strong>, so there is no need to go to any shop and pay with cash for this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are already in Bali, you can also <strong>buy a SIM pre-loaded with credit<\/strong> from any <strong>convenience store<\/strong> like Circle K, Alfamart and Indomart or <strong>kiosk<\/strong> &#8211; look for the word <strong>&#8216;pulsa&#8217; (credit)<\/strong> on shop signs. The set-up is simple, but note that you may need to register IMEI, so do bring your passport with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Choose_a_service_provider\"><\/span>3. Choose a service provider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most <strong>popular cellular providers<\/strong> here are <strong>Telkomsel (Simpati), Indosat and XL<\/strong>. I\u2019ve always used Telkomsel (Simpati) so I can\u2019t really comment on the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telkomsel has the best network in Bali and Indonesia, and this is also the network used by Bikago Mobile.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-1856\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/telkomsel-logo-e1576745919603.jpg\" alt=\"telkomsel\" class=\"wp-image-1856\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Telkomsel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A <strong>regular Tourist SIM card<\/strong> will normally <strong>cost between Rp 200,000 to Rp 300,000<\/strong>. Some shops will charge silly prices though. It is up to you to either negotiate, find a different shop or just agree with the higher price for convenience sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you buy them at the airport, there are often long queues as the seller need to register the customer passport and the phone IMEI number. If you use Bikago Mobile you can skip these queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Add_credit_with_Telkomsel_XL_etc\"><\/span>4. Add credit with Telkomsel, XL, etc<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you bought the SIM card you need to ask the shop to <strong>add credit<\/strong> (called pulsa here). This can be Rp 50,000 (approx USD 4.00) or Rp 100,000 or you can add as little as Rp 10,000 (approx USD 0.75).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only use your phone for texting and local calls, you should be able to make 50,000 Rp last about a week or two. Of course, if you use the Internet on your smartphone or make international calls, your pulsa will deplete quickly. To <strong>top up your credit<\/strong>, look for that <strong>pulsa<\/strong> sign again, pay the vendor and give them your mobile number. They&#8217;ll send the credit to your phone and you\u2019ll get a text message straight away for confirmation. The vendor will often add a small fee of Rp 1,000 or 2,000 (approx USD 0.15) to the cost of the pulsa. This is standard across Bali and Indonesia for that matter. Generally, you cannot buy pulsa online or over the phone, so try to get it before all the shops close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Subscribe_to_internet_services\"><\/span>5.

Once you\u2019ve topped up your credit, dial <strong>*363#<\/strong> (if you have a Telkomsel SIM card) to subscribe to an <strong>internet package<\/strong>.
