XL Axiata in Bali

XL Axiata is Bali’s second‑largest mobile network. It offers good coverage in most tourist areas, competitive prices, and reliable data speeds. While Telkomsel has stronger island‑wide reach, XL is a solid and often cheaper alternative.

📶 Coverage

XL Axiata performs well in major tourist hubs:

• Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Legian
• Sanur and Denpasar
• Ubud (strong in central areas)
• Uluwatu (good but patchy near cliffs)

Coverage becomes less consistent in:

• Nusa Penida
• Nusa Lembongan
• North Bali (Munduk, Lovina, Amed)

If you’re staying mostly in the south or central Bali, XL is a great choice.

📱 SIM Card Options

You can buy an XL SIM card at:

• Denpasar Airport (higher prices)
• Official XL Axiata stores
• Convenience stores (Alfamart, Indomaret)
• Local phone shops

Activation is quick, and most shops will set it up for you.

💰 Typical Prices

• 20–25 GB — very affordable
• 40–50 GB — good value for long stays
• Social media add‑ons available

XL is usually cheaper than Telkomsel for the same data amounts.

🎯 When to Choose XL Axiata

• You’re staying in Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, or Ubud
• You want good performance at a lower price
• You don’t need deep rural or island‑wide coverage
• You’re a budget‑conscious traveller
