eSpeedz Indonesia eSIM plans start at $8.99 and connect to Telkomsel and Indosat, so you're covered across Bali, Lombok, Java and the main island hops. You get a QR code by email in minutes, install it before your flight, and the plan starts when you connect in Indonesia.
Bali traffic is easier with Gojek in your pocket. Land at Ngurah Rai with data already running and book your scooter or car before you're through customs.
Bali trips tend to be long. People come for two weeks, fall for Ubud or Canggu, and stay longer. Paying a US carrier by the day for that is painful, and it's easy to forget the meter is running while you're on a scooter between rice terraces. A prepaid eSIM caps what you spend before you even leave.
Buying a local SIM in Indonesia comes with an extra wrinkle: IMEI rules. Phones brought from abroad have to have their IMEI registered to use an Indonesian SIM, which operator counters do for visitors staying under 90 days, while longer stays go through customs. Indonesian customs says visitors using a foreign SIM on international roaming don't need to register. An eSpeedz eSIM connects as a roaming visitor, so there's no registration step and no counter queue at the airport.
On the ground, Gojek and Grab handle almost everything: scooter rides, cars, food delivery, even sending a package. Coverage is strong around Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud and Uluwatu, and coworking cafes have solid wifi. Head to Nusa Penida, though, and the signal drops off on the roads to Kelingking and the south coast viewpoints. The same goes for multi-day boat trips around Komodo, where you'll be offline for stretches at sea. Download offline maps before day trips like these.

A week in Bali with Gojek rides, maps and plenty of photos usually fits in 3GB to 5GB, since villas and cafes have wifi for the heavier stuff. Two weeks, especially with island hopping to the Gilis or Lombok, is more like 10GB. Digital nomads working from Canggu who hotspot a laptop or join video calls on the go should look at 20GB or the larger 50GB plan. If you're spending days on a Komodo boat with no signal, you'll use less than you expect.
The dry season, roughly April to October, is the classic time for Bali, Lombok and Komodo, with sunny days and calmer seas for boat trips. July and August are the busiest weeks. The wet season from about November to March brings heavy afternoon downpours, but also greener landscapes and fewer crowds, and plenty of people visit then without trouble.
