Eskimo eSIM eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Eskimo eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for New Zealand. All plans that carry the “Unlimited” name actually include a 3GB/day high‑speed data allowance; once that limit is reached the speed is reduced to 512 kbps.

Travelers who need more predictable data can choose from a range of fixed‑data plans. For example, the New Zealand 10GB plan gives 10GB of high‑speed data for 730 days, while the 5GB plan offers 5GB for the same period. Global options such as the 10GB or 30GB plans also include New Zealand coverage and may be more cost effective for heavy data users.

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.
