Hi ​@Jacek Butkiewicz 

 

I’d recommend the same as ​@MZone above, you should be getting connection in Bali however usage would be chargeable as extra.

Can someone please help. My wife who is currently in Indonesia Jakarta is unable to be contacted on mobile voice call nor text. She has set cap to £10 but not enabled data roaming as we think that for this, it shouldn't need to be data roaming to be enabled. 

Can someone please confirm? We just need her to be able to be contacted from here. She doesn't need to be able to make calls back to UK. Thanks

Hey there ​@notworking, roaming will need to be enabled in order to use any calls, texts or data anywhere abroad. So please enable roaming via the iD Mobile app/website, and also phone’s own settings.

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Unfortunately we tried all that and still not working. We enabled data roaming.

Hey there, have you enabled roaming on the iD app/website, and also via your own settings? Have you also tried restarting the phone and resetting network settings?

 

Furthmore, has the bill cap already been reached at all?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi, if we have to enable roaming which will obviously start to chew into my cap, just so that I can be reachable on voice call from UK, doesn’t that mean that I will ended up spending loads into the cap just to be on “standby”? This is data roaming setting you meant right?

Hi ​@notworking 

 

Your spend cap will be used once roaming is enabled and data/call/texts are used.

Hi Natalie, yes I understand that, but it seems like I will be charged of using the data even though I don’t wanna use the data, just so I can be contactable via voice?

for our usage, this faff alone is enough for us to move away from ID mobile

Hi ​@notworking 

 

Yes, you will likely be charged for staying on standby roaming in Indonesia with us. While we do include roaming in our plans for 50 destinations, Indonesia is not one of them. Therefore, you'll incur charges for using your iD Mobile SIM in Indonesia, even if you're just letting it sit on standby.
