Please Note:

Your Indonesia SIM Card (Axis) will require a SIM-unlocked GSM 1800 compatible international cell phone. If you do not have your own international cell phone, we have several models available for rental or purchase.

Your Indonesia SIM card will provide you with a Indonesia cellular phone number, which can be found on the front of your SIM card package. Your Indonesia phone number begins with 083.

*You will need to snap out the thumbnail sized Indonesia SIM card along the perforated edge of its holder and then insert the Indonesia SIM card into your international cell phone with the gold contacts of the SIM card facing the metal contacts of your international cellular phone.

^Your phone will prompt you for a 4 digit PIN code (PIN), which is printed on the card where your SIM card is detached from. The PUK is only required to unblock your cell phone if you enter the PIN code incorrectly 3 times. Follow your international cellular phone manual instructions to correctly use the PUK to unblock your phone.

**When calling overseas from the United States to your Indonesia cell phone, callers will need to dial 011 followed by country code 62 and your Indonesia cell phone number, omitting the first 0 (zero). To call abroad from your Indonesia cell phone, simply dial + followed by the country code and phone number.

Customer service for your prepaid Indonesia SIM card can be contacted at anytime by dialing 838 from your Indonesia cellular phone (charges may apply).

For emergencies while using your local Indonesia SIM card in Indonesia please dial 110 for Police, 118 Ambulance and 113 for Fire from your cell phone.

Adding Airtime

These airtime vouchers are available locally at tabac shops, convenience stores, petrol stations, AXIS centers and authorized dealers.

More Information and Resources

Keeping in touch while in Indonesia can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Indonesia SIM card.

Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.

Indonesia cellular phone rentals can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a Indonesia cell phone rental can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.

Think you got a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
