New Zealand eSIM questions
How much does the New Zealand eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $4.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $23.95. Daily data starts at $5.95 for 3 days at 1GB a day. Unlimited data starts at $15.95 for 3 days. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in New Zealand?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($23.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($7.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Unlimited starts at $15.95 for 3 days. See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the New Zealand eSIM use?
It runs on One NZ. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Is there signal on the Milford Road and in the national parks?
Not everywhere. The road from Te Anau to Milford Sound has no signal for most of the way, and neither do many tramping tracks and back roads in the South Island. Download offline Google Maps before you leave town.
Can the whole campervan share it?
Yes. Turn on hotspot and everyone's phones and tablets share the one plan. Unlimited at 5Mbps runs maps, CamperMate, music and messages for the whole van.
Can I call 111 in an emergency?
Yes. 111 works from any phone with signal. Tramping out of signal? Carry a personal locator beacon: you can hire one in most tourist towns.
Does it work in Fiji or the Pacific Islands?
No, it's New Zealand only. Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Tahiti each have their own eSIM.
When does my New Zealand plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in New Zealand. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the New Zealand eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every New Zealand plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the New Zealand eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
