Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Denpasar (DPS) activates at the gate on Telkomsel. Plans on XL or Indosat can take a few minutes to register.
Hotspot and calls
Allowed on most plans. Villas often have weak Wi-Fi, so budget data for hotspot use.
Where the network is weak
Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud are strong on Telkomsel. Nusa Penida, Amed and the Gili islands drop sharply on non-Telkomsel plans.
Local SIM alternative
Telkomsel tourist SIMs need IMEI registration for stays over 90 days; not an issue for holidays. An eSIM on Telkomsel is the safest choice for the islands.

Paying from India or Pakistan

Providers take Visa and Mastercard. Indian debit cards need international use enabled and carry a 2 to 3.5% forex markup; UPI and RuPay-only cards are not accepted. Pakistani cards need international transactions enabled at the bank, sit under the annual dollar limit, and carry a 3 to 4% markup; JazzCash and Easypaisa are not accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.
