Internet & SIM Card

Ethical Trekking in Bukit Lawang

To stay connected with mobile internet during your trip to Indonesia, here are your options simplified:

Register Your Phone Upon Arrival

When you land in Indonesia, go to the customs office at the airport with your phone’s IMEI number and a QR code obtained online. This registration is mandatory if you plan to use an Indonesian SIM card. If your phone’s value exceeds $500 USD, you may need to pay additional fees.

Get a Tourist SIM Card

Visit a Telkomsel store, like the one in Medan (Sumatra), to get a tourist SIM card. This allows you to use your phone for up to 3 months at a time.

Buy a SIM Card or eSIM in Advance

Purchase a SIM card or eSIM from providers such as Holafly before your trip. This lets you connect to local networks right away upon arrival.

Use a Mobile LTE Router

Insert a local Indonesian SIM card into a mobile LTE router and connect your devices. Make sure the SIM card doesn’t have password protection.

Use a Local Smartphone as a Hotspot

Buy an inexpensive smartphone in Indonesia and use it as a hotspot to connect your other devices.

These options ensure you have reliable mobile internet during your stay in Indonesia, catering to different needs and preferences for connectivity.
