I just used this 2 weeks ago for my Bali trip.

Klook sims are good value and convenient- they meet you outside the arrivals gate and set up your phone with the Bali/Indonesian Sim.

This deal is really great as includes airport transfer and power adapter socket set as well!

Price is from $9 as the distance from airport increases cost.

it cost me to $12 to get this package with travel to Sanur.

the sim on its own is usually $9.15.

my return trip from sanur to the airport was $11. - so yeah.

The Klook people are waiting for you at the arrivals with a sign and your name on it. - they set up your phone for you and then whisk you off to your destination. (if you take the toll road then make sure you have Rp13,000 ( ~$1.30) with you.)

when you purchase this package you will need to provide a copy of your passport (photo and name page), a photo of you holding the passport, and your phones IMEI number.

the power socket set includes 3 adapters for various power plugs.

and you get a free 300ml bottle of water (Rp3,000) -bonus - stay hydrated.

the Pool Floatie option is an additional cost AUD 15.80

Additional Sims can be added for AUD 9.05 - you need to provide copy of passport, photo holding passport and IMEI for each additional sim.

current travel requirements for travel for Bali require the install of the Indonesian covid tracking app - PeduliLindungi , you also need your international covid vaccination certificate - I got it from a medicare office (you need to take passport with you), visa on arrival is now available and costs Rp 500.000 ~ AU$51.50.

        You do know that to register a sim in Aus you need the same level of identification, due to our anti-fraud/corruption laws. try buying a phone/sim from BigW, you get asked for all this info.

          i've bought 5 prepaid phones from woolies this year alone. never got asked for ID. the only ID verification i encounter is when i activate a sim card. i don't get asked for the phone's IMEI though

          • natcoso9955 on 05/10/2022 - 18:48

            @tdw: If its just a phone no, but if you are buying with a simcard which is "active" then it gets registered (including the IMEI) well it used to when i worked there 8 years back.

              @natcoso9955: the phones came with an included starter pack sim which you have to activate yourself. i guess they got sick of doing the ID check thing and just passed the buck to the customer to sort out. it was probably 10 years ago at a kmart when i was last ID-checked when buying a $2 sim card with no credit.

          Aus carriers don’t ask for IMEI. It’s pointless to do so because the carriers record the IMEI of each call/session anyway, and the SIM isn’t locked to a particular IMEI in Aus

        i know for Germany (11 years ago since i was last there so laws may have changed) you actually need to be a resident to get a sim but people bypass that by buying sims from train station shops etc.

    • kopisusu on 05/10/2022 - 22:40

      Yes it is a legal requirement. My understanding is that the rule was introduced to combat mobile phone imports that had dodged paying taxes. Side effect is that it impacts tourists; I think there were supposed to be tourist sims to be introduced, but there may still be limited number of places you can purchase these from.

      Your IMEI number gets registered with the government to be whitelisted, so a local sim can work with a phone not purchased in Indonesia.

      If you have used the phone in Indonesia prior to April 2020 it should still work (supposedly)…

        • kopisusu on 06/10/2022 - 10:14

          According to this https://balibusinessconsulting.com/how-to-register-imei-phon… for short stay <90 days tax does not need to be paid, but you still need to register your IMEI if you intend to use a local sim card.

          All I've found so far on official ID government website https://www.beacukai.go.id/faq/ketentuan-registrasi-imei.htm… is reference to tourists registering for access for 90 days using a local sim. I haven't yet found where it says tax is exempt for short stays, but to me it would be a reasonable expectation (since you are not staying long term or trying to import to re-sell).

          Courtesy of google translate from the gov website:

          If you only stay temporarily (ex: tourists, business purposes) in Indonesia, does the HKT (mobile phone, handheld computer, tablet) that you carry have to be registered for IMEI?

          IMEI registration is not required, if HKT from overseas used in Indonesia:
          continue to use a SIM card from the country of origin (roaming);
          using an Indonesian SIM card with registration at a telecommunications outlet to get access to telecommunications networks for 90 days.

          As an aside, the requirement for IMEI is the most recent change (Sept 2020), but AFAIK the requirement to register with ID/passport was introduced a couple of years back in Indonesia. According to this website https://privacyinternational.org/long-read/3018/timeline-sim… most countries have this requirement in place. I've had to do it (or a relative on my behalf) on my last trip to Indonesia just before the pandemic, and have needed to provide passport details when purchasing a tourist sim in Singapore as well.

          No doubt there are creative people out there who manage to find loopholes and get around these requirements. I'm curious to find out if they did end up introducing proper tourist sims, and if they have some sort of special identification that bypasses whatever IMEI filtering they have set up…

            Thanks for all the info in your comment, much appreciated. I haven't been back since 2019, but my other half is an Indonesian citizen and her brother posted us 1 XL and 1 Telkomsel SIM earlier this year, which he activated for us before posting (using her details). Both SIMs are currently active and roam onto Optus/Telstra in AU, so we'll need to register our IMEI's before we go. If I hadn't have stumbled across this thread, I would have had no idea!

            I was aware of the SIM registration ID requirement, that has been in place for several years now, but the IMEI thing is new to me.
            Hopefully we won't be taxed on the handsets for a <90 day visit, but I will need to make sure those IMEI's are registered before we go.

            I wonder if they will treat her differently, as they may see her as 'returning home with a foreign purchased handset', rather than 'just visiting'. She will after all have a return ticket to AU to show them…
            The Indonesian government like to complicate things, this is certainly not a surprise :)

            • kopisusu on 06/10/2022 - 10:41

              @bonezAU: I found this site that seems to have a pretty good summary - https://come2indonesia.com/how-to-register-the-imei-of-the-m…

              Looks like the IMEI requirement was introduced April 2020 (it was some point while we couldn't travel anywhere lol), and that the proper tourist sims don't require the IMEI registration step (I presume you would still need ID to purchase it though). I assume the sims your brother in law provided are not the tourist ones, so yes you'd need to register your IMEI if you hadn't used the same mobile phone in Indonesia prior.

              No worries with the info! I needed to look into it myself since I'll be travelling there next year :) I hear you on the Indonesian government comment (or more specifically the people implementing them on the ground), hopefully a return ticket (and maybe PR status?) would be sufficient if they ask…

              • bonezAU on 06/10/2022 - 11:15

                @kopisusu: That link is doing my head in even more (not your fault!)
                I was starting to think that it would just be easier to get 2 of the Telkomsel Tourist Cards - both in my name, since citizens can't have them. This would be easier than having to figure out what is required to register the IMEI, which can only be done in stores. The tourist cards can only be purchased in Bali, the problem here is that I do transit through Bali, just don't leave the airport. Where I am going, I would not be able to buy or pick up the Tourist card (as far as I know).

                Previous experience tells me that the people selling Telkomsel SIM's at Denpasar airport jack the prices up, so it becomes a massive PITA to get the Tourist card without leaving the terminal (not an option really). The Klook option is no good either, since it is a data-only SIM. We need to be able to make local calls and send SMS.

                I guess this is going to mean I'll have to fly to Bali, use WiFi at the airport and then catch a connecting domestic flight to Java. Once I am there, find a Telkomsel shop or something that will sell me a SIM and add the IMEI's of our phones to the database?

                Argh what a headf*#!

    Is this 9 bucks per person for transport? This is actually damn cheap since, as far as I know, Bali airport won't let gojek/gocar (their ride-sharing companies). And, a regular taxi is notorious for not using meter (price jacking).

    • altomic on 05/10/2022 - 18:40

      $9 bucks for up to 4 people. - you are just paying for the vehicle.

      if you have more than 4 people or loads of luggage then you select a different capacity vehicle (the price will increase for that)

      I used Gojek to return to the airport.

      • MINKx on 05/10/2022 - 18:48

        Yes. They won't block gojek with passangers from outside. Going out of the airport is a different story.

      Protip: go up to departures and get a taxi thats dropping off passengers for a normal rate. Alternatively head to the only airport hotel, Novotel, accessible from arrivals, from their lobby you still have airport wifi and can you can order a grab/gojek to get you outside the Novotel's main entrance (also avoids the airport toll)

      • dajackal on 05/10/2022 - 19:37

          it asks for each vacs details - brand of vac, date of vac, country of vacs given.

          you then upload a photo of the international certificate.

          this was not checked at immigration.

          I did show I had the app on my phone (they didn't seem concerned with this) , and i showed the international covid vac cert (you must have this to enter the country)

    My June flights changed and I had to let them know close to departure date and it wasn’t a problem. I was also 1.5 later than what I said I’d be due to number of passengers and how long things were taking but the Klook man was still waiting. Amazing service.

      so they would've had to have downloaded the medicare app, registered/set-up the app, gotten the cert, etc. etc
      just too hard and complicated.
      medicare office is 5 kms down the road. took 10 minutes to get. . peace of mind to have a physical copy (i'm old)

      Airport to Sanur basically. Only useful in heavy traffic. Also a great looking road and views.

    Wow. I traveled to bali many times pre pandemic and never had to do any of this, even when i ordered a sim from klook.

    Is this normal now? Seems extremely invasive. The photo of you holding the passport seems overreach.

      Plot twist: The optus hacker has hacked Klook

      I think it’s relatively new, as in maybe the last year.

      That's a new indonesian gov requirement afaik. Obviously there's no guarantee klook as the middleman will immidiately remove your data once submitted to the telco.

      I just came back from Indo. A driver I met brought me to a mobile shop where they set up a 14 day Smartfren Sim on my phone with none of the passport / IMEI registration malarkey. Was done in 5 minutes .

      Not sure how the loophole works but it only seems to work with Smartfren, which has decent coverage.

        How much did it cost?

        • Sparassid on 06/10/2022 - 05:37

          17000 IDR ($1.70) for 3gb I think. There's a 6gb option for not much more as well

          • deals4amar on 06/10/2022 - 12:09

            @Sparassid: Thank you, do you know the name of the shop?

            • Sparassid on 06/10/2022 - 16:05

              @deals4amar: It was just a random independent mobile store next to the bus terminal in Probolinggo in Java.

              I did visit a few mobile shops before that with no success (they all told me I need to register passport/IMEI), so you'd probably have to ask around but I'm sure other shops would be aware/willing to offer it too.

      There's an option to change the zone to ubud with slight cost

      • chinaman on 05/10/2022 - 22:26

        Oh. Let me try

        • altomic on 06/10/2022 - 12:11

          yeah, select zone 3. cost is $19. not bad. gojek alone cost me $16 from Senur to Ubud

  • punkfans on 05/10/2022 - 22:27

    Anybody tried their car hire service? Considerably cheaper than Aussie counterparts

  • Supercool on 05/10/2022 - 23:25

    Not sure about this company, and whether they are clawing the coin back by overcharging data.. I used to always grab a simpati Sim from a shop without the ID requirements.
