Frequently Asked Questions

Which devices support eSIM in Bali?

eSIM support is dependent on the phone model and software version, rather than the location.

Generally, most recent models from brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and Huawei have eSIM compatibility.

What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a mobile network plan without needing a physical SIM card. It’s built directly into your device, meaning you can switch between carriers and plans more easily, without swapping physical SIM cards.

Here’s how it works:

1. Activation: You get a QR code or activation details from your carrier, which you can scan or enter into your device.

2. Setup: Once activated, the eSIM functions just like a traditional SIM, allowing you to make calls, send texts, and use data.

3. Switching: You can store multiple eSIM profiles on one device, making it easy to switch between network providers or plans.

eSIM is particularly convenient for frequent travelers and those looking for flexibility in managing their mobile plans. It is compatible with many modern devices from brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and Huawei.
