What this trip actually needs
- Navigation all day: live maps use only 3–5 MB per hour of walking
- Translation and menus on demand - photo translation is a few MB each
- Ride-hailing and bookings, which need a connection exactly when you have no Wi-Fi
- Photo backups and social posting (the real data spender - do bulk uploads on hotel Wi-Fi)
Budget math for Indonesia
Typical tourist usage is 300 MB–1 GB/day. At $1.20/GB in Indonesia, $10 (≈ 8.3 GB) usually covers a one-to-two-week holiday - about the price of a single day of carrier roaming.
Coverage rides Telkomsel, selected automatically by signal. Reliable across Bali and Java. Coverage thins on remote islands - Telkomsel is the right partner network, but physics still applies.
Setup is a QR scan (or one-tap install on iPhone) - do it on Wi-Fi before you fly and you're online the minute you land. Full walkthrough on how it works.
Sightseeing data in Indonesia
Bali and Java tourism runs on Grab and Gojek (both are essential - Gojek doubles as food delivery and the local Venmo), the Traveloka app for domestic flights and inter-island ferries, and Google Translate for reading warung menus in Bahasa. In Bali, the driver-hire flow through Grab tends to be more reliable than street taxis. A three-day Bali itinerary is 1-1.5 GB: heavy Maps as you navigate between Canggu, Ubud, and Uluwatu, ride-hailing to and from every meal, plus the Instagram photo tax at Tanah Lot and the rice terraces. Indonesian SIMs (Telkomsel, XL) require passport registration since 2018, done at authorized outlets only. Anon eSIM on Telkomsel skips that entirely and holds up in the reef towns of Nusa Penida too.
