    Cant find in the description if the 18GB sim u bought have all the GB for everywhere in indonesia. And get confirmation that dont have calls included. Cause the 18GB of XL are 8 Bali, 10 indonesia so can use all 18 in Bali or just 10 outside and have calls to XL included. Think that for traditional routes XL network can be good too.

    Indonesian here, I suggest you to use providers that already provide eSIMs to be purchased directly on their websites. At this moment, there are XL Axiata, Indosat Ooredoo, and Smartfren. I suggest Indosat, since it's the best among the three. Telkomsel at this moment doesn't have any eSIM option. PS: If you buy any of those providers, you can also buy roaming data package that can be used as well in Singapore. Cheers!
