Data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that there were 347.32 million mobile phone subscribers in Indonesia in 2024. This breaks down into 323.32 million prepaid subscribers and 9.92 million postpaid subscribers.

The number decreased by 1.38% year-on-year (YoY), and is claimed to exceed Indonesia's population.

"This indicates that one person can own more than one SIM card, for example, for personal and professional use, or to take advantage of various promotions from different operators," wrote the BPS in its 2024 Indonesian Telecommunications Statistics report.

The trend in the number of national mobile phone users from 2018 to 2024 was predominantly upward. Decreases only occurred in 2022 and 2024, as shown in the graph.

BPS also recorded that in 2024, average household consumption for telecommunications expenditure reached Rp211,690.16, or 3.52% of total monthly expenditure.

This expenditure includes telephone payments, mobile phone credit, internet fees, internet cafes, mobile phone purchases, and others.
