Does my phone support eSIM in New Zealand?

If your phone supports eSIM (iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung S20+, etc.), it will work in New Zealand. Our eSIMs use local carrier networks for the best coverage.

When does the data plan start?

Your data plan activates when you first connect to a network in New Zealand. You can install the eSIM before your trip -- it won't start counting until you arrive and connect.

Can I receive calls and texts with the eSIM?

Our eSIM plans are data-only. You can keep your regular SIM active for calls and texts while using the eSIM for mobile data. You can also use VoIP apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom for calls.

What network will I connect to?

Your eSIM will automatically connect to the best available network in New Zealand. We partner with major local carriers for reliable 4G/LTE coverage.

We offer refunds for unused eSIMs. Once an eSIM has been activated (connected to a network), it cannot be refunded. Contact our support team for assistance.

Travel Tips

New Zealand has good coverage in towns and along major highways, but many scenic areas and hiking trails have no mobile signal. The South Island has less coverage than the North Island, especially in Fiordland and remote alpine areas. Always download offline maps before road trips. Budget 2-3GB per week for standard travel. DOC (Department of Conservation) huts generally have no signal.
