the UAE Dial Prefix to Indonesia
From a UAE landline or mobile, dial 00 (or + on a mobile) followed by the country code and local number. Note: the UAE blocks most VoIP apps (WhatsApp/Skype voice), so a browser-based service like Kinvo on a regular HTTPS connection is one of the few cheap options that actually works.
Calling Indonesia from the UAE Mobile vs Landline
Whether you call from a the UAE mobile or landline, Kinvo charges the same per-minute rate — $0.20/min to Indonesia landlines and $0.19/min to Indonesia mobiles. Your the UAE carrier, by contrast, typically charges more from a mobile than from a landline (mobile international add-ons can run €/£/$0.50–3.00 per minute on top of the plan), and many "free international" carrier bundles exclude mobile destinations entirely. Because Kinvo runs in your browser, the call goes over your data connection — so it costs the same from a the UAE home Wi-Fi network or a 5G mobile.
Kinvo vs the UAE Phone Carriers
the UAE carriers charge premium rates for calls to Indonesia: Etisalat (AED 5.32/min), du (AED 5.32/min). International add-on plans run €/£/$10–15 per month and frequently exclude mobile destinations. Kinvo's per-minute rate to Indonesia is $0.19 with no monthly fee — about 8× cheaper than the cheapest the UAE carrier rate, and you only pay for minutes you use.

Cheapest Way to Phone Indonesia from the UAE
The cheapest way to phone Indonesia from the UAE in 2026 is a browser-based VoIP service like Kinvo at $0.19/min.

International add-on plans from Etisalat run €/£/$10–15 per month and only pay off if you call to Indonesia more than ~10 hours a month.

How much does it cost to call Indonesia from the UAE?
From the UAE, Kinvo charges $0.20/min for Indonesia landlines and $0.19/min for Indonesia mobiles, plus a $0.05 connection fee per answered call. A 30-minute landline call from the UAE costs $6.05.
What's the cheapest way to phone Indonesia from the UAE?
Browser-based VoIP. Kinvo at $0.19/min beats the UAE-issued calling cards (which add $0.09–0.99 connection fees plus rounding), carrier international add-ons (€/£/$10–15/month), and pay-per-minute carrier rates ($1–3/min on most the UAE mobile plans).

From a the UAE landline or carrier mobile, the international exit prefix is 00 — so a direct-dialed Indonesia call is 00 62 + local number. From Kinvo's browser dialer, enter +62 instead and skip the carrier exit code.
Can I call Indonesia from a the UAE mobile without an app?
Yes. Kinvo runs in any modern mobile browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on iOS and Android. There is no app to install — sign in to kinvophone.com from your phone's browser and dial. Calls go over your data connection so the per-minute rate is the same on Wi-Fi or 4G/5G in the UAE.
Is calling Indonesia from a the UAE mobile more expensive than from a landline?
On the UAE carriers — yes, mobile-originated international calls are usually more expensive than landline-originated ones, and many bundled minutes plans exclude international destinations like Indonesia entirely. With Kinvo it's the same rate either way ($0.20/min landline, $0.19/min mobile) because the call leaves your browser, not your carrier.
