Since 2020, Indonesia requires all foreign mobile phones to register their IMEI number with the government within 90 days of entry. While enforcement for short-term tourists has been inconsistent, buying a physical local SIM as a foreigner can trigger this registration requirement. Ovosim operates as an international roaming eSIM under different regulatory classification, meaning you connect to Indonesian networks without the registration paperwork or queue.
Canggu (the surf and digital nomad hub) has excellent 4G/5G from Indosat and Telkomsel, with most co-working spaces and cafes having both WiFi and strong cellular backup. Ubud in the rice terrace interior has good 4G in the town center but signal becomes intermittent on the walking trails and at some remote rice terrace viewpoints like Tegalalang. The monkey forest and Ubud Palace areas have solid 4G.
Getting to the Komodo dragons requires a boat from Labuan Bajo (Flores). Labuan Bajo town has 4G from Telkomsel. On the Komodo and Rinca islands themselves, there is no cellular signal — you are fully offline while watching the dragons. This is expected and not a coverage issue. Download offline maps of the national park before departing Labuan Bajo.
Jakarta is a megacity of 30+ million people and has strong 4G/5G coverage throughout. The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) that opened in 2019 has underground station coverage. Jakarta's notorious traffic makes Gojek and Grab essential — both require constant data for navigation and driver tracking. Ovosim's Indosat connection handles Jakarta's high-density network environment well.
The cultural heartland of Java — including Borobudur temple and Prambanan — has solid Telkomsel and Indosat 4G coverage. The approach roads and viewing platforms at both UNESCO sites have good signal. The active volcano Mount Merapi viewing areas have intermittent 3G due to terrain.
