Roaming, registration, EID: Bali's phone traps

This video includes AI-generated scenes.

Don't buy a SIM in Bali until you've seen this. 3 phone mistakes: a local SIM needs your phone registered (visitors get 90 days, set up at an operator's outlet), day passes run about US$12 a day, so US$120 for ten days, against US$8.32 for 10 GB on one eSIM, and not checking your phone takes eSIM (dial *#06#, look for an EID). Comment BALI for the link. NomadConnect is an example store built on fresim. Has roaming ever caught you out in Bali? #balitravel #indonesia #travelmistakes
