TL;DR

You can buy a physical SIM card at Bali airport or at a mobile-phone shop near your hotel. To use an Indonesian SIM, register your phone’s IMEI at the airport or arrange a temporary SIM registration for stays of up to 30 days.

What the community said

For stays of up to 30 days, a physical SIM can be sold with temporary registration at the point of purchase, without completing a separate IMEI-registration process.

Alternatively, register your phone’s IMEI at the airport so that a local physical SIM works properly.

If you cannot buy a SIM at the airport late in the evening, visit a mobile-phone shop near your hotel the next day; these shops are commonly available in Bali’s tourist areas.
