Using Gojek and Grab in Bali with an eSIM

Why a local number helps

Gojek and Grab both use SMS one-time passwords (OTPs) during account setup. A local Indonesian line gives you a direct place to receive those codes while you are in Bali.

A clearer SMS path

Gojek and Grab use SMS one-time passwords during account setup. A local Indonesian line gives those codes a direct destination while you are in Bali.

One line for local services

A local number can receive verification messages and booking updates from services you use during your trip.

Calls that connect

Drivers, villas, and tour operators can call a local line directly when a pickup or booking needs attention.

How the Nusio eSIM solves this

The Nusio Bali eSIM includes a real local Indonesian phone number, not just a data-only SIM. Once the line is active, it can receive calls, SMS messages, and OTPs like any Indonesian mobile number. That gives you a local line to use when setting up Gojek, Grab, and other services.
