+62 895, 896, 897, 898 and 899 numbers: Tri (3) mobile lines

A number starting +62 895, 896, 897, 898 or 899 is an Indonesian mobile number on Tri (3), a prepaid brand that has belonged to Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison since January 2022. Indonesia has no mobile number portability, so the prefix reliably shows Tri, but nothing about the caller's identity or location.

What these numbers look like

From abroad

Drop the 0 after +62 from abroad. Do not confuse these with Philippine numbers: the Philippines also has mobile numbers beginning 895-898, but those start +63, not +62.

Who uses Tri (+62 895-899) numbers?

Komdigi (formerly Kominfo) allocates mobile number blocks. The government portal Indonesia Baik states that Tri uses 0895 to 0899. Tri was launched by Hutchison 3 Indonesia; on 4 January 2022 that company merged with Indosat to form PT Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison Tbk. Tri kept its brand and its 089x prefixes after the merger, so a 0896 number today is a Tri number on the Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison network.

Who is calling you from a Tri (+62 895-899) number?

Tri is a low-cost prepaid brand with a large base of young, data-heavy users, so 089x numbers are common in marketplace chats, online gaming and casual WhatsApp use. Cheap prepaid SIMs are also attractive to people running bulk WhatsApp campaigns. An unexpected message from an 089x number offering paid tasks, a job or a prize deserves extra caution.
