eSIM Travel Tips for Indonesia
Bali is a direct flight from Auckland: sort your eSIM at home
Direct flights from Auckland to Bali are operated by Air NZ and Garuda Indonesia in peak season. Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before you fly. Enable data when you land at Ngurah Rai Airport and you are straight on Bali coverage. Very handy for getting a Grab to your villa straight away.
Canggu and Seminyak are well covered
Bali's most popular NZ hangout areas including Canggu, Seminyak, and Legian have strong 4G throughout. Coworking spaces, restaurants, and bars all have Wi-Fi but your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you connected outside and on scooter rides between spots.
Ubud and the rice terraces have decent signal
Ubud town has solid 4G coverage. The Tegalalang rice terraces and popular Ubud monkey forest area are also covered. Deeper jungle treks and Mount Batur hike routes can have limited signal. Download offline maps for any hiking plans.
Gili Islands need offline backup
The Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, Gili Meno) have basic 4G in the main tourist areas but coverage is much patchier than mainland Bali. Download offline maps and snorkelling spot guides before taking the fast boat from Padang Bai or Lombok.
Go-Jek and Grab need live data
Go-Jek is the dominant ride-hailing platform in Bali and Go-Food is essential for ordering food to your villa. Both need a live mobile data connection. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps these running from the moment you arrive at Ngurah Rai.
Mobile networks in Indonesia: what NZ visitors need to know
HelloRoam connects on Telkomsel, XL, and Smartfren in Indonesia. Telkomsel is the national incumbent and covers Bali, Java, Sumatra, and other islands. XL is strong in tourist areas. Your eSIM picks the best available signal automatically.

| Typical cost | From NZ$5.99 total | NZ$8.58–NZ$42.92 total | NZ$8.58–NZ$25.75/day |
| Details | Plans from NZ$5.99.

Tourist SIMs at Bali Airport are available but more expensive. A HelloRoam eSIM sorted at home avoids all of that. | Indonesia is outside the EU. NZ carrier international roaming in Indonesia can cost $8 to $15 per day. A two-week Bali trip on roaming could easily cost $100 to $210. |
Prices approximate as of . Actual savings vary.
Best time to visit Bali from New Zealand
Bali's peak season aligns with NZ school holidays. The dry season from April to October is the best time with low humidity and little rain. July and August are peak Bali season with NZ winter school holidays driving massive bookings. December to January is another popular NZ period for Bali family trips. The wet season from November to March is rainier but cheaper and still warm.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.

Transparency Notice
- Service Provider Name (SPN)
- That's HelloRoam you see up in your phone's status bar, not a mystery reseller name. The SPN is a standard field baked into every eSIM profile, and most travel eSIM resellers do not bother provisioning their own.
- Public Network Name (PNN)
- The PNN is the network name field in your eSIM profile, set out in 3GPP TS 31.102 (EF_PNN). Your phone can read it to show the name of the network you're connected to.
- Access Point Name (APN)
- Your HelloRoam eSIM sets its own Access Point Name automatically when it installs, so your mobile locks onto the strongest local network without you touching a single setting.
What you see is our standard retail pricing across 185+ countries, nothing marked up for the page you landed on. Plans get recommended off real traveller feedback and actual network performance, not guesswork. You can get a refund on unactivated eSIMs within 180 days.
