It's trash. The bandwidth is undoubtedly restricted to below 100kbps, making it completely unusable. Do not sign up for it under any circumstances.
I'm was in Auckland for five days, got a eSIM from Yesim for 3gb for seven days. Simple process and it worked flawlessly when I landed. Internet breakout is in Poland though, so there's a little latency, not a big issue but might be annoying for video calls.
Don't recommend their app though, it immediately began sending push notification spam every few hours. The website works fine for keeping track of usage though.
Not good. Installed the eSIM and everything looked as though it should work. Settings were correct! But although I had full network coverage according to my phone nothing would load and i wasn’t connected to the internet!? And the GoMoWorld app kept telling me that I hadn’t downloaded the eSIM? I tried all the troubleshooting and nothing worked!
There are more than 100 travel eSIM providers and more than 4,000 prepaid data plans available for New Zealand. The extensive range makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that matches their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are available in New Zealand from several providers. These include Firsty, Billion Connect, Roamify, Yoho Mobile, Truely, abesteSIM, Yesim and Airhub. Most of the unlimited offerings allow tethering, but many impose speed throttling; a few, such as Firsty and a handful of the others, cap the maximum speed at roughly 5 Mbps, while Firsty additionally limits its network to 256 kbps and displays ads. The price range for unlimited plans spans from free (Firsty’s 1‑day, ad‑supported option) to about $75.47 USD (Yoho Mobile’s 20‑day plan).
In New Zealand, three primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) provide extensive coverage and services:
Spark: Established in 1987 (formerly known as Telecom), Spark offers nationwide 4G and expanding 5G services, covering approximately 98% of the country.
One NZ: Previously known as Vodafone, One NZ provides 4G and 5G services, reaching 99% of areas where New Zealanders live and work.
2degrees: Launched in 2009, 2degrees offers 4G and expanding 5G services, covering 98.5% of the places New Zealanders live and work.
In addition to these MNOs, New Zealand has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease network access from the major carriers to offer their own mobile services. Examples include Warehouse Mobile (using the 2degrees network) and Kogan Mobile (using the One NZ network). It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.
