Airalo eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited eSIM plan for New Zealand; all of its plans marketed with “Unlimited” in the title actually offer a 3 GB/day data cap on 5G networks, after which speed is throttled to 1000 kbps. Users who need a larger, unthrottled amount of data can choose from fixed‑data options such as the 50 GB or 20 GB plans, which provide a set amount of high‑speed data for the plan’s validity period. Selecting a fixed‑data plan may be more cost‑effective for travelers whose data usage is close to the daily 3 GB limit.

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 provides 18 single‑country plans that are dedicated solely to New Zealand and 36 multi‑country plans that include New Zealand among their covered destinations. The price range for these offerings is roughly $4 USD to $99 USD, while the data caps vary from 1 GB up to 50 GB. Plans are generally divided into two main types: fixed data cap plans give you a set amount of data for the entire validity period, whereas daily data cap plans allocate a portion of data on a day‑by‑day basis.
