eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

eSIMCard does not provide a true unlimited eSIM data plan for New Zealand. All of its “Unlimited”‑named plans deliver a fixed amount of high‑speed data—typically 1 GB per day—after which the speed is reduced to 500 kbps or 2000 kbps, and additional data is not covered under the plan.

If the traveler needs larger data allowances, eSIMCard offers fixed‑data plans such as a 100 GB eSIM for 180 days (unthrottled, tethering allowed) or a 50 GB eSIM for 30 days (tethering allowed). These plans are more cost‑effective for heavy data users and do not come with reduced speeds after the limit is reached.

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 provides 21 single‑country plans that cover New Zealand and 62 multi‑country plans that include New Zealand in their coverage. The plans vary widely in price, from as little as $2.12 to over $478, and in data allowance, ranging from 1 GB to 100 GB. Validity periods span from one day to a full year. Among the available options, 55 are fixed‑data plans while 28 impose a daily data cap, giving buyers flexibility between a set amount of data and a per‑day usage limit.
