| Long holiday (streaming, maps, photos) | 40–100 GB | Unlimited A/B | Good balance of price and headroom for streaming |

Activation, device compatibility and tips
Before you buy
- Confirm your phone supports eSIM and the bands listed on Compatible Devices.
- Decide if you need unlimited hotspot — all unlimited plans here include it.
Activation steps (typical)
- Buy the plan on the main product page: Nexa eSIM Indonesia.
- Receive QR instantly by email; follow the provider activation instructions within your phone settings.
- Activate when you land (or within 180 days if you buy in advance).
Real-world tips
- If you need uninterrupted VPN or high‑quality video calls, test speed and switch to the highest unlimited plan if you see throttling at peak times.
- Carry a small local power bank for long days exploring: tethering drains battery fast.
- If you plan inter-island travel, choose a carrier with wide national coverage (Telkomsel has the broadest reach).
When to choose a non‑unlimited 30‑day plan
If you reliably use under 20GB and won’t tether a laptop, the 20GB ($27.99) or 10GB ($16.99) 30‑day plans save money. For occasional heavy bursts, consider shorter unlimited packs (5–15 days) during particularly data‑heavy periods — Nexa lists several short unlimited options if you need a mid‑trip boost.

Bottom line
For a month in Indonesia with daily remote work and hotspot use, pick a 30‑day unlimited plan ($48.99–$59.99) for predictable costs and stable connection. If your needs are lighter, 10–20GB plans cut price without sacrificing basic reliability.
