Jakarta eSIM
Land in Jakarta, scan a QR, and you're online on a local network in seconds. No daily roaming fee, no surprise bill. $1.20 per GB.
Data in Jakarta
In Jakarta the eSIM rides Telkomsel with 4G LTE typically available - the same towers local subscribers use, selected automatically by signal strength. City centers, transit, and airports are the strongest coverage any network offers, so this is the easy case. Reliable across Bali and Java. Coverage thins on remote islands - Telkomsel is the right partner network, but physics still applies.
Pricing is Indonesia's flat rate of $1.20/GB, metered per MB from a prepaid USD balance. A city break runs light: maps, ride-hailing, translation, and messaging together use well under 500 MB a day for most travelers, so $10 (≈ 8.3 GB) commonly outlasts the trip - and whatever's left keeps working in the next city, or next year.
Arrival checklist
- 1. Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you fly (QR or one-tap iPhone install).
- 2. Turn Data Roaming ON for the Anon eSIM line; leave it off on your home SIM.
- 3. Set Anon eSIM as the mobile data line; keep calls/SMS on your primary.
- 4. Land in Jakarta, drop airplane mode, and you're connected within a minute.
No ID, no account, no email - $5 minimum plus a one-time $5 setup fee for a new eSIM. Top-ups later are fee-free.
On the ground in Jakarta
Soekarno-Hatta covers 5G on Telkomsel at most gates. Central Jakarta, SCBD, Kemang, and Menteng run strong 5G (150-350 Mbps). MRT and LRT have continuous underground coverage. TransJakarta buses work throughout. Coverage extends across Bekasi, Tangerang, and Depok reliably on 5G/LTE. Traffic is the actual bottleneck to any journey; the eSIM stays online while you sit in it.
