Top-up phone credit and add data

The SIM cards sold at the Bali airport are geared towards tourists. These are packages that include internet data and overseas calling time. If you don’t want the 4gb or 8gb package then you can also buy a regular SIM card at a cellphone shop nearby your hotel and then just load credit and data as you need.

A regular SIM card will normally cost between Rp 20,000 to Rp 30,000. Some shops will charge silly prices though and it is up to you to either negotiate, find a different shop or just agree with the higher price for convenience sake.

After you bought the SIM card you can ask the shop to assist and add credit. Top-up credit can be from as low as Rp 5,000 to Rp 100,000.
