Question 1

Does it work in Bali, Lombok, and the Gili Islands?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bali has full 4G/5G from north to south. Lombok has 4G in Mataram, Senggigi, the south (Kuta Lombok), and on the approach to Mount Rinjani. The Gilis (Trawangan, Meno, Air) have stable 4G in villages and along the coast; some remote beaches may be 3G only. The fast boat from Padang Bai holds signal through most of the crossing.

Question 2

Does it cover diving sites like Komodo or Raja Ampat?

Accepted Answer

Labuan Bajo (the Komodo gateway) has full 4G. In the Komodo archipelago itself, signal depends on the boat — modern liveaboards usually get coverage near main islands and nothing in between. Raja Ampat is more remote — Sorong has coverage, but inside the archipelago most resorts rely on satellite WiFi rather than mobile data. Save offline maps and schedules.

Question 3

How is coverage in Ubud, Canggu, and other digital-nomad hubs?

Accepted Answer

Excellent. Ubud and Canggu are nomad paradises precisely because the local network is fast and stable — 4G/5G in every café, villa, and coworking space, with speeds good enough for uninterrupted video calls. For long Zoom calls, the eSIM hotspot works well as a backup if on-site WiFi fails. Amed, Sidemen, and Tegalalang (rice fields) also have solid coverage in the villages.

Question 4

Does it work on fast boats and inter-island ferries?

Accepted Answer

On short routes like Bali–Nusa Lembongan, Bali–Gili, or Lombok–Gili, yes — the crossing is short and signal holds most of the way. On longer crossings like Bali–Lombok direct or big ferries to Sumbawa, you may lose signal in open sea for a while. Pelni, the state ferry line, runs multi-day ferries between big islands (Java–Papua, for example) where there's no mobile coverage at all — not a typical tourist route.

Question 5

Is there signal near volcanoes like Mount Agung or Mount Bromo?

Accepted Answer

At the usual trailheads (Kintamani for Agung, Cemoro Lawang for Bromo) 4G is stable. On the climb itself, signal drops as you ascend — at the summit there's usually no coverage, which is normal on active volcanoes. If you're doing the sunrise hike with a guide, confirm times and meeting points before leaving the village. At Bromo, the sunrise viewpoint (Pananjakan) typically has 4G.
