Best eSIM setup for a month in Bali and island-hopping to Nusa Penida?

Question

I'm heading to Bali for a month and will be working remotely from Canggu and Ubud, plus a few days on Nusa Penida. I need reliable data for video calls and maps. Should I get a local SIM or is a GotoeSIM plan good enough? Any tips on which plan to pick?

Our Indonesia plan runs on a major local network with good coverage in Canggu, Ubud, and Nusa Penida. For video calls, I'd recommend at least 10GB; you can top up in the app if you run low.

Mark T. · Answer

I used GotoeSIM in Bali last month and had no issues in Canggu or Ubud. Nusa Penida had signal in main areas but was spotty on the west coast.

Local SIMs are cheaper for heavy data, but GotoeSIM saved me the airport queue. For a month of remote work, I'd go with GotoeSIM and top up as needed.

Make sure your phone supports the bands. My old phone only got 3G in some spots, but my newer one was fine.

Anika R. · Answer

For video calls, I found early mornings and late evenings had the best speeds. During peak hours, it could get a bit slow in Canggu.

David (GotoeSIM) · Answer

If you're island-hopping, our plan covers Nusa Penida too. Just check your device's compatibility and enable data roaming; it activates automatically on arrival.

Tom H. · Answer

I'd suggest downloading offline maps for Nusa Penida; signal can drop on some roads. GotoeSIM worked well in the main towns.

I used a 20GB plan for a month and it was plenty. I also kept my home SIM active for calls via WhatsApp.
