Airalo eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Airalo does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data plan for New Zealand. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their names give 3 GB of high‑speed data each day; once that daily allowance is reached the network speed is throttled to 1000 kbps. Therefore, the data is capped even though the plan names imply unlimited usage.

Instead, Airalo offers fixed‑amount plans that can be more economical for most travelers. For example, the Nzcom - 50 GB plan delivers 50 GB of data for 30 days at $49.00 USD, and the Nzcom - 20 GB plan provides 20 GB for 15 days at $37.00 USD or 30 days at $38.00 USD. These plans provide unlimited high‑speed data within the set data limit and may be a better choice for users who do not regularly exceed a few gigabytes.

Airalo does not sell New Zealand eSIMs that include a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only plans are available for use in New Zealand. Travelers who need voice or text services can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.

Airalo offers 18 single‑country plans that cover New Zealand alone and 33 multi‑country plans that include New Zealand as one of the destinations, for a total of 51 options in the country.
Providers usually distinguish between fixed‑data plans—where a set amount of data is available for the entire validity period—and daily‑data‑cap plans, which allocate a daily quantity of data that can be topped up each day.
Across all plans the price ranges from about $4.00 to $97.00, while the data caps span from roughly 1 GB up to 50 GB for the longest‑running packages.
