eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for New Zealand. Every plan that carries “Unlimited” in its name is capped at 1 GB of high‑speed data (or 1 GB per day for multi‑day subscriptions). Once the cap is reached, the speed is throttled to 500 kbps or 512 kbps, depending on the specific package.

Travelers who need more data can choose from several fixed‑data options. For example, eSIMCard offers a 100 GB plan that is valid for 180 days and remains unthrottled, as well as a 100 GB plan valid for 90 days and a 50 GB plan for 90 days. These fixed plans are often more cost‑effective for users who consume large amounts of data over an extended period.

eSIMCard does not provide New Zealand eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only eSIMs for travelers in New Zealand. Users can still make voice calls and send messages through popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which operate over the data connection supplied by the eSIM.

eSIMCard offers 35 single‑country data plans and 62 multi‑country plans for travelers heading to New Zealand. The price range for these options extends from about USD 4.27 to roughly USD 478.46, while the data allowance spans from 1 GB up to 100 GB over validity periods that can be as short as one day or as long as 365 days. Some plans provide a fixed data amount that lasts for the entire validity period, whereas others are structured around a daily data cap, granting a set amount of data each day within the plan’s duration. This broad array of choices lets customers match their coverage needs, data consumption preferences, and budget requirements.
