If you have just landed at Bali Airport, the process for getting a tourist SIM card is as follows.
Step-by-Step Guide at the Airport:
Arrival Procedures: First, you must complete all registration procedures (immigration control).
Finding the Operator: Closer to the exit, you will be able to find kiosks of local Indonesian operators and purchase a tourist SIM card.
Required Documents: To register a SIM card in Bali, you need to have:
- Your ID document or passport.
- Register in the queue to receive further consultation.
IMEI Registration: After this, the operator will register your phone's IMEI in the local database, and you will receive your SIM card.
Important Restrictions for Tourists:
This type of tourist SIM card is usually valid for one to three months per phone IMEI, depending on the chosen operator. For example, the most popular operator in Indonesia and Bali grants a valid number for only one month.
How to Bypass Restrictions (for long stays):
If you plan to use connectivity without restrictions (longer than 3 months), the only way is to buy a local phone(registered in Indonesia) that does not have IMEI registration limitations.
