The best eSIM for Germans in Bali in 2026.

I wrote this for a traveller from Germany with a Vodafone contract who asks whether to roam in Bali or buy an eSIM. Bali is in Indonesia, which Vodafone lists on EasyTravel, so I priced that against four travel eSIM brands and Ringo Light. For two weeks or a month I would buy Ringo Light.

Cheapest unlimited eSIM for Bali: Ringo Light, $23.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days (Ubigi $40 and $59). Prices read 11 November 2026.

The short answer

The reader is someone in Germany with a Vodafone contract, going to Bali. Bali is an island in Indonesia, and Indonesia has been on Vodafone's EasyTravel list since 22 July 2026, at €7.99 (about $9) a day or €21.99 (about $25) a week, read on 31 October 2026. I compared that with four travel eSIM brands and Ringo Light, priced on 11 November 2026. For a stopover I would roam. For a week, two weeks or a month in Bali I would buy Ringo Light, $6.99, $23.99 or $35.99.

That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.

It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.

What to see in Bali, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places most first trips include, from the rice terraces of Ubud to the cliffs of Nusa Penida, the Gili islands and one temple on Java, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Coverage is good on the main roads and in the south, and thinner on the smaller islands.

Roam with Vodafone, or buy an eSIM

Bali is an island in Indonesia, and Indonesia is the country Vodafone lists. I read the EasyTravel page on 31 October 2026, and Vodafone's article says Indonesia was added on 22 July 2026. EasyTravel Tag is €7.99 (about $9) for each calendar day you call, text or use data there. EasyTravel Woche is €21.99 (about $25) for seven days. Two weeks is €43.98 (about $49), and a month is €103.94 (about $116), since the page shows no monthly pass for Indonesia.

Vodafone's two weeks in Bali is €43.98, about $49, and Ringo Light's is $23.99. For a month it is €103.94, about $116, against $35.99. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed, paid once. Among the rival eSIMs, Ubigi comes closest: $40 for 15 days and $59 for the month, with a fixed amount at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Airalo asks $48 and $69, Holafly $51.50 and $76.50.

A stopover is closer. Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan, but its 7 days at $6.99 costs less than Airalo's 3 days of unlimited at $11 and less than one Tag day at about $9. A single Woche is about $25, more than Ringo Light's two weeks at $23.99 and well over its 7 days at $6.99.

Vodafone wins the things a contract does best. Your own number keeps ringing, with up to 500 minutes and 500 texts a day included, to Germany or within Indonesia. Your home data volume comes along, for example 135 GB a month on Vodafone Mobil XL, and there is nothing to install. For two weeks or a month on the islands, I would buy Ringo Light.

Networks in Bali, and what changes for a visitor from Germany

Telkomsel has the widest coverage across the Indonesian islands, including the Gilis, Nusa Penida and the north of Bali. Indosat, XL and 3 are fast in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and the south, and thinner outside the towns. Nomad rides Telkomsel, Holafly lists XL and Telkomsel, and Ubigi rides Indosat. If you plan days on the smaller islands, I would pick a Telkomsel plan. I read no Indonesian network named for Vodafone's EasyTravel, so I do not say which one your phone would join.

EasyTravel works differently from an eSIM. A Tag starts by itself the first time the phone calls, texts or uses data in Indonesia, and it ends at midnight German time or when you re-enter Germany. A Woche is booked a day ahead in MeinVodafone or by sending Easy7 to 70127. It needs a Vodafone contract but not an eSIM slot. Vodafone says unlimited tariffs do not get unlimited data abroad, and the page names no speed.

There is also WorldTravel, €4.99 a month (about $6) for 2 GB, on a 12-month term of €59.88 (about $67). I would not buy it for a single holiday.

If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad

  • Ubigi, $16 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, and 25 GB costs $28, on Indosat with 5G.
  • Nomad, $19 for 10 GB. It rides Telkomsel, and its 20 GB for 30 days is $29.
  • Airalo, $21 for 10 GB. The biggest name, with buckets from $4.50 for 1 GB and 20 GB at $35.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. It sells unlimited: 2 weeks at $23.99 and 30 days at $35.99. If you need 10 GB to last a whole month, I would buy Ubigi at $16. For 20 GB, Ubigi ($28 for 25 GB), Nomad ($29 for 30 days) and Airalo ($35) cost less than the Ringo Light month, but Ringo Light is unlimited.

What Ringo Light is

I write for Ringo, so weigh my view with that in mind. Ringo Light is its own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Indonesia it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 7 days at $6.99, 2 weeks at $23.99 and 30 days at $35.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email and installs in one scan, with no app.

The eSIM sits next to your Vodafone SIM, so your number keeps working for calls and texts if you leave roaming on for those. EasyTravel includes up to 500 minutes and 500 texts a day. A day on which you call or text counts as a Tag day at €7.99, so I would save those for the days that need them. I would install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi and switch it on for data when you land at Ngurah Rai.

For the island stays, see /blog/best-esim-for-ubud and /blog/best-esim-for-lombok, and for the rest of the country /blog/best-esim-for-indonesia. The card to buy Ringo Light is further up the page, after the table.

Frequently asked questions

Should Germans use Vodafone EasyTravel or an eSIM in Bali?+
For a day or two I would use EasyTravel Tag at €7.99 (about $9) a day, with your own number. For two weeks I would buy Ringo Light: $23.99 against €43.98, about $49, on Vodafone.
Does Vodafone cover Bali, or only Indonesia?+
Bali is part of Indonesia, and Indonesia is on the EasyTravel list I read on 31 October 2026. So the Tag and Woche prices apply there, with up to 500 minutes and 500 texts a day included, to Germany or within Indonesia.
Is unlimited really unlimited in Bali?+
Every brand has a limit somewhere, and I check where before I recommend one. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, and Ubigi after 30 GB for 15 days or 60 GB for the month. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed.
Which is cheapest for a month in Bali?+
Ringo Light, at $35.99 on 11 November 2026. Ubigi asks $59, Airalo $69 and Holafly $76.50. On Vodafone a month is €103.94, about $116, as I count four Woche passes and two Tag days.

How we compared, and our sources

Airalo, Holafly, Nomad, Saily, Ubigi, Vodafone, Ringo Light, European Central Bank, Ringo Light

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Bali on 11 November 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

Written and priced by the Ringo team. Prices change often; if you spot one that has moved, tell us through the contact page and we will update the table.
