Eskimo eSIM eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Eskimo eSIM does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for New Zealand. The plans that carry the name “Unlimited New Zealand” provide 1 GB of high‑speed data per day; when that daily limit is used, the speed is reduced to 512 kbps.

For travelers who need more generous data allowances, Eskimo eSIM offers fixed‑data plans. Examples include the New Zealand 10 GB plan at $29.00 USD with a validity of 730 days, and the New Zealand 5 GB plan at $16.00 USD, also valid for 730 days. These plans give full 5G speed until their data caps are reached, which can be more cost effective for most users than the low‑daily‑limit “Unlimited” options.

Eskimo eSIM does not offer a New Zealand eSIM plan that provides a local phone number or SMS capabilities. The provider sells only data‑only plans for travel in New Zealand.

Travelers who need to make voice calls or send messages can still use popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. These apps enable communication without a dedicated phone number or SMS service.

Eskimo eSIM offers 14 single‑country data plans for New Zealand and 9 multi‑country plans that include New Zealand as part of a broader regional coverage. The single‑country options range in price from about $4 USD to $90 USD and provide between 1 GB and 30 GB of data, with validity periods from 1 day to 730 days. These plans are primarily fixed‑data bundles; each plan gives the buyer a set amount of data that can be used at any pace until the data cap is reached.

The multi‑country plans are available in two styles: 9 are daily data‑cap plans that allow you to use a certain amount of data each day, while the other 14 are fixed‑data cap plans. Both price and data ranges for multi‑country plans mirror those of the single‑country bundles, offering a similar breadth of options for travelers who need connectivity across several destinations, including New Zealand.
