Customizing eSIM Plans Based on Usage Preferences

The best eSIM for Indonesia will depend on the duration of your stay, and your specific data requirements. Ensure that your device is dual SIM compatible (you can usually find this in the device settings). Then, look for an eSIM data plan that balances cost and your coverage requirements.
