What is included?
- National mobile data for use in Indonesia, subject to the selected operator’s coverage.
- A local Indonesian phone number.
- A choice of eSIM or physical SIM card on qualifying packages.
- Airport pickup with help for registration, activation, and mobile-data setup.
- Support to test the connection before leaving the counter.
The package does not guarantee the same signal or speed in every part of Bali. Buildings, terrain, congestion, device bands, and the local network all affect performance.
Why choose XL Axiata for a Bali trip?
Local data without international roaming charges
A local plan separates your Bali data use from your home carrier’s roaming tariff. Keep your home SIM enabled only when you need calls or bank messages, and select the Indonesian line for mobile data. Check your home carrier’s roaming settings before arrival.
Physical SIM and eSIM options
An eSIM lets a compatible phone add the Indonesian line without removing the physical home SIM. A physical SIM works for unlocked phones that support the required network bands. Compatibility depends on the exact model, country variant, and carrier lock, not only the phone’s marketing name. Use the eSIM compatibility checklist if you are unsure.
4G coverage and limited 5G availability
XL provides 4G service across many populated areas of Bali. XLSMART’s official 5G coverage page lists current coverage and supported devices. A 5G connection still requires a compatible device, an eligible package, and an active 5G area. Do not buy a plan on the assumption that 5G will be available throughout the island.
Airport setup assistance
Visitors who order through Sim Card Airport Bali can collect a qualifying package at the airport counter. Staff can assist with registration, installation, APN settings, and a mobile-data test. Activation time depends on correct customer details, device compatibility, and the operator’s system.
How much data should you buy?
For maps, messaging, ride-hailing, and occasional browsing, 3GB to 13GB may be enough for a short visit. Regular social media uploads and video calls make 19GB to 34GB a safer range. Streaming, remote work, or frequent hotspot use can justify 53GB or more.
Automatic photo backups and app updates can consume more data than navigation. Disable them on mobile data if you want the package to last. Our Bali data-usage guide gives a more detailed breakdown.
What do tourists need for registration?
XL states that foreign nationals can register a prepaid physical SIM at an operator outlet or authorized partner by presenting a passport, KITAS, or KITAP as applicable. Bring the passport and the phone that will use the SIM. Device information may also be required during activation.
SIM registration and Customs IMEI registration are not the same process. Travellers staying longer or using a device beyond the tourist-registration period should check the current requirements in the Indonesian Customs IMEI FAQ. Read our Bali SIM registration and IMEI guide before arrival.
How to buy and collect an XL tourist SIM
- Open the current SIM and eSIM product page.
- Choose the data allowance and eSIM or physical SIM card.
- Confirm that XL is available for the selected package before completing the order.
- Enter the traveller and arrival details accurately.
- Save the confirmation and follow the current airport pickup instructions.
- Bring the passport and compatible, unlocked phone used for registration.
- Before leaving, switch off Wi-Fi and confirm that mobile data works.
XL Axiata tourist SIM card FAQ
Can I get an XL eSIM as a foreign visitor?
Yes, XL offers tourist eSIM service for eligible foreign passport holders, and Sim Card Airport Bali lists eSIM as an option on qualifying packages. Your phone must be unlocked and support eSIM. Confirm the operator and package availability before paying.
Does every package include XL?
No. The catalog offers XL, Tri, or IM3 Indosat depending on the package and current availability. If you specifically want XL, confirm that choice for the selected quota before ordering.
How long is the package valid?
The packages in the current Sim Card Airport Bali catalog are valid for 28 days from activation. XL’s own direct tourist products may have different validity and conditions, so compare like-for-like offers.
Will XL work everywhere in Bali?
No mobile operator can guarantee identical coverage everywhere. Check the places on your itinerary and compare XL with other networks in our Telkomsel vs XL guide.
Can I keep WhatsApp on my existing number?
Changing the data SIM does not require changing the WhatsApp account number. When WhatsApp asks whether to use the new number, keep the existing number unless you deliberately want to migrate the account.
Check the live package, operator availability, and final price on the All Plans page before ordering.
