Comparison
Nusio vs Airalo for Bali
Airalo is the world’s biggest travel-eSIM store and a perfectly good product — so here’s the honest version. For Indonesia, Airalo sells data-only eSIMs (typically on the Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison or Three networks) with no Indonesian phone number. That one difference decides which product is right for your trip.
The Gojek/Grab problem
Bali runs on Gojek and Grab — rides, food, pharmacy runs. Both apps verify your account with an SMS code, and registration with a foreign number is unreliable: the OTP has to reach your home SIM (roaming charges, delays, or silence). A data-only eSIM can’t receive that SMS at all. With a real +62 number the code arrives like it does for a local — this is the single most common reason travellers switch to a local eSIM after landing.
