ASIMGO does not provide a New Zealand eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability. All of its plans for New Zealand are data‑only; there is no option for inbound or outbound voice or text messages.
Because of this, travelers who need calls or texts will need to rely on VoIP or messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. Those apps usually work in New Zealand, but some destinations can block or restrict specific services, so it is wise to confirm that the apps essential to the user are available before purchasing.
