Multi-island trip including Lombok, Flores, Komodo→Plan for patchy coverage in remote areas regardless of provider
Field tip — remote islands have limited coverage
Coverage on Bali is strong in tourist areas (Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu, Kuta). On smaller islands like Lombok, Nusa Penida, and Flores, signal becomes patchy in non-tourist and rural areas. This is true regardless of which eSIM provider you use — they all connect to the same underlying networks. Download offline maps and key information before leaving Bali for smaller islands.

Australia / NZ — Indonesia is a popular destination. Carrier roaming is available but expensive for stays over 3–4 days.
USA / Canada — daily roaming passes apply. A 10+ day eSIM is much cheaper.
Asia — some carriers have regional agreements. Check your carrier for Indonesia/Bali rates.
