Is there signal at Borobudur and Prambanan temples?

Yes. Both UNESCO temple complexes sit outside the city but have dependable 4G, so you can book timed-entry and sunrise tickets, use audio guides and share photos from the stupas and courtyards.

How much data do I need for a few days in Yogyakarta?

For maps, ride-hailing, translation and photo sharing, 500MB-1GB a day is plenty. A 3-5GB plan covers a long weekend of temple trips; add more if you plan to stream or tether a laptop.

Good to know in Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta's newer airport, YIA, sits about 45km west of the city in Kulon Progo - a 60-90 minute drive or a ride on the KA Bandara airport train. Have your eSIM live to book the train or a Grab on arrival.

Two simple ways to buy

Yogyakarta eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Yogyakarta eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Yogyakarta — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Yogyakarta eSIM: your local data guide.

Java's cultural capital pairs ninth-century temples with a buzzing student-city energy, and you'll want data for all of it - booking a Borobudur sunrise slot, decoding Prambanan's legends, or finding batik workshops off Malioboro. A Yogyakarta eSIM keeps Gojek, Maps and Grab live from the moment you touch down at YIA.

One eSIM for Yogyakarta and all of Indonesia. It's the national Indonesia eSIM — from $3.14/day with unlimited data, working the same in Yogyakarta as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Yogyakarta.

Malioboro Street

Ride-hailing and maps to navigate the crowded shopping thoroughfare and its becak (rickshaw) side lanes.

Borobudur

Book timed sunrise tickets and stream the history; 4G reaches the temple grounds in Magelang, an hour northwest.

Prambanan

Translation and audio-guide apps bring the Hindu temple complex to life, with solid coverage near the site.

Kraton & Taman Sari

Maps thread the palace quarter and the Water Castle's tunnels, where a guide and reviews help you find hidden entrances.

The practical bit

Getting around Yogyakarta on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Yogyakarta

Gojek— Gojek was born in Indonesia; use GoRide, GoCar and GoFood right across Jogja.
Grab— The main ride-hailing alternative; handy for airport runs and temple day trips.
Access by KAI— Book and track intercity trains; Yogyakarta is a key stop on the Java rail line.
Google Maps— Navigates to Borobudur, Prambanan and Malioboro; save offline maps for rural temple roads.

How long to stay in Yogyakarta

Most people spend two to three days in Yogyakarta, covering the Borobudur and Prambanan temples, the Kraton palace, Malioboro street and a Merapi jeep tour.

How much data for Yogyakarta

A balanced 3-5 GB is plenty for maps, ride-hailing and planning temple day trips; light sightseers who mostly use hotel Wi-Fi can manage on around 1 GB.

Coverage in Yogyakarta

4G, with 5G appearing, is strong in the city centre, around Malioboro, Tugu station and the airport, but thins on the rural approaches to Borobudur and up the slopes of Mount Merapi.

Peace of mind

Your Yogyakarta eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Yogyakarta eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Yogyakarta, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
