Using Data in Indonesia

[mtmc98]

I have the o2 Travel Inclusive bolt on and am wondering if this will cover me while I'm in Bali or whether I will need a different travel bolt on as well.

This is a good starting point :-

Using Your Phone Abroad → O2 Travel Search Tool | O2

And Travel Inclusive is no good for Indonesia (Bali), you need the Travel bolt-on, by texting TRAVEL to 23336 - it will cost you £6 per day to use data, receive calls or texts on your O2 phone in Bali.

Good luck, @mtmc98.

Thank you for that information. It looks like it’s cheaper to get an eSIM rather than pay for another travel Bolt on. I appreciation the information

The bolt-on is free, but if you use your phone while abroad, you will be charged £6 for the 24hour period in which you first used it - and the £6 lasts all day.

Not sure how an eSIM  will help - unless you plan to get a local SIM in Indonesia when you get there, for data locally, and switch to using WhatsApp or similar. Good luck @mtmc98.
