Using a local SIM card:
You can get a local SIM card by buying it at the airport upon arrival or at the kiosk in your local neighborhood.
Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, has kiosks where you can buy local SIM cards.
There are several local providers that you need to know before deciding to buy a local SIM card for tourists, namely Telkomsel, XL Axiata, and Indosat Ooredoo.
Note that to activate your SIM card, you need to go through a registration process that requires you to provide a valid passport.
Therefore, you need to make sure to bring your passport along with you when purchasing a SIM card.
Another option for buying a local SIM card is to visit a local convenience store or a mobile phone shop. There are a lot of mobile phone shops that would register phones for free when you purchase a SIM card or an Internet package from them.
These are the places where you can get help with the SIM card setup and registration process.
