Travelling to Ondonesia

Urbanbedouin — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 19:19:55 GMT

My wife is travelling to Indonesia and I need to know if there are international bolt ons to make using her phone out there more affordable, I cannot seem to find information on costs for usage

There are no bolt-on options.

Indonesia is a 'Rest of World' location. Costs are in the tariff: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-mobile-tariff-guide

£2,160 per GB of data (Yes, 2 thousand pounds)

£2.16 per MINUTE to call UK

£1.80 per minute to receive calls

50p per SMS

£3.50 per minute to local numbers

Put the phone in flight mode to avoid these charges...

A local SIM/eSIM may be a better option.

There is no such bolt on. Indonesia is a Rest Of The World destination and therefore extremely expensive. See this link

@Urbanbedouin

There is no international bolt on as you will be charged for what you use:

£2,160 per GB (yes this is correct)

£2.16 per minute Calls to local or UK mobile and landline numbers

£1.80 per minute to receive calls

£0.50 per text message to UK numbers and mobiles

£0.58 per picture message(MMS)

So either sue Wifi only or get and use a local sim while in th e country. To avoid these charghes make sure mobile data and roaming is off and flight mode is on before leaving the UK.

Many thanks for your help and Christ that's expensive! I'm not sure how they justify it but it is what it is.

Indeed - at least you found out before travelling. Others have found out the 'hard way'...
