FootySIMs eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

FootySIMs does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for New Zealand. The plans labelled “Unlimited” in their catalogue actually offer 1GB per day, after which speed is throttled to 512kbps. This means there is a data cap, and the term “Unlimited” refers only to the naming convention, not to a non‑restricted data allowance.

Travelers who need a larger data grant can choose from fixed‑data plans such as the 1GB/7 days or 1GB/30 days options. These provide a set amount of high‑speed data without the post‑cap speed reduction, and may be more cost effective for heavy data users.

FootySIMs does not provide a New Zealand eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. All FootySIMs eSIMs for New Zealand are data‑only. Travelers can use internet‑based messaging and voice applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection to communicate.

FootySIMs currently offers three single‑country plans for travelers in New Zealand. All are valid for 7 to 30 days and priced between $1.96 and $47.77. Two of the plans cap data on a daily basis while the remaining plan provides a fixed data allowance of 1 GB. Because the provider does not list any multi‑country (multiple coverage) plans for New Zealand, only the single‑country options are available. The data cap for the daily‑cap plans ranges from 1 GB per day, with overall usage limited by the validity period, whereas the fixed‑data plan offers a single 1 GB cap for the entire validity. Tethering is allowed on all plans, but reduced speed may apply at 512 kbps during data overuse.
