eSIMs work in the same way as traditional SIM cards, but they offer several advantages.

1. eSIMs iallow users to switch between different mobile network operators without having to physically change their SIM card. 
2. eSIMs is that they are more secure than traditional SIM cards, as they cannot be physically removed or replaced without the device owner’s knowledge. This makes eSIMs less susceptible to SIM-swapping attacks, where a hacker takes control of a phone number by replacing the SIM card without the user’s knowledge.
3. Switching Simcards & eSIMS not necessary anymore. esim Solutions like Truely and Bikagomobile let you continue to top-up or even switch regions without the needed to switch esims anymore after a certain period. Seamless

What is an eSIM card?

An eSIM Card (embedded SIM) is a type of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device, rather than being a physically removable card. eSIMs are becoming increasingly popular in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile devices.

Activating your device & eSIM

First, ensure that your device supports eSIMs before attempting to use one! eSIMs are digital SIM cards that have been adopted as a standard by carriers all over the globe including Indonesia. iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and later models support eSIM. iPhone 14 devices sold in the United States do not have a SIM tray and can only use eSIM.

The next step is for the user to activate the eSIM, which can be done either by scanning a QR code provided by the mobile network operator or by entering a code provided to them via text message. In order to use the device normally, the user must first activate the eSIM before connecting to the mobile network.

What data package should I get for the Bali SIMCARD?

Naturally, this is dependent on how long you intend to stay and how “active” you want to be with your mobile data. If you don’t intend to stream movies or watch a lot of YouTube but still want to stay connected and use map and transportation apps, stay online on Whatsapp or Telegram, and check your emails, we recommend 2-5GB per week.

Why do we recommend who we recommend?

We’ve been keeping an eye on the tourist SIM card market for a while now, and we’re still irritated by it. When we first started out, our only goal was to educate consumers about available choices; we weren’t affiliated with any service providers or resellers.

Why? There is so much hassle involved in trying to get connected at the airport: many of the resellers who have little booths outside the arrival hall are overpriced or not transparent, many offer sloppy service because it’s super rushed, waiting in line takes forever, data packages cannot be topped off if necessary after the 30 days, and there is no afterservice if something is unclear, you get 30GB, but essentially it’s 18 for youtube and 12 for surfing…all this kind of stuff.

We put BIKAGO, Truely, and actually all of our recommended partners to the test. 

For that purpose you can use TRUELY.
