Take the RAILINK Airport Train Into the City

Know the Emergency Number in Indonesia

August is the busiest month with highest fares from New Zealand. wet season November–April is quieter. Jakarta Fair (June–July) is a local highlight. Avoid January–February (heaviest rain) if possible. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you online all year.

Grab and Gojek both operate from the airport and need live data. Having your HelloRoam eSIM active when you land means you can book a ride or plan your train journey without hunting for airport Wi-Fi in a busy terminal.

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.
