EscapeSIM does not provide a New Zealand eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. All available eSIMs from EscapeSIM for New Zealand are data‑only plans, so they do not support traditional voice calls or text messages.
Travelers who need to make calls or send messages can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which use the internet connection supplied by the data plan. Because some destinations may block or restrict specific apps or VoIP services, it is advisable to confirm that the messaging platforms you rely on are accessible in New Zealand before purchasing an eSIM.
