As of the first quarter of 2023, Telkomsel's subscriber count amounted to approximately 156.8 million. In that year, Telkomsel had more subscribers than its rivals, Indosat and XL Axiata. In Indonesia, it is common to use more than one SIM cards, which is why the number of total subscribers might not necessarily correspond to the total number of actual customers.
Influence of customer demands
The telecommunications industry in Indonesia is competitive by virtue of its maturity. Competitive pricing and offering of unlimited local call and text services characterize the current state of the market. With users preferring extensive coverage and affordable prices, the mobile network providers have launched plenty of options to suit the custom needs of the user. The availability of low-cost devices that allows the increase in the number of smartphone users in Indonesia and the expanse of the internet has significantly furthered the need for sound telecommunications infrastructure.
5G network in Indonesia
Despite its rapid internet and smartphone adoption growth, Indonesia still needs to work on advancing its network technologies. Compared to its neighboring Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand, Indonesia's 5G network development tends to lag behind. Spectrum availability is considered the key challenge to expediting 5G development in the country, emphasizing the necessity of extensive infrastructure development.
