Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for New Zealand. All plans listed as “Unlimited” actually contain a fixed data cap—14 GB for 7 days, 20 GB for 10 days, and 30 GB for 15 days—with a reduced speed of 512 kbps once the quota is reached.

Travelers who need larger data allowances can choose from Giga.Tel’s fixed‑data plans, such as the 90 GB plan valid for 365 days or the 60 GB plan also valid for 365 days. A 50 GB plan is available for 7 or 15 days, both with a reduced speed once the limit is used. These options offer more data than the “Unlimited” plans and may be more cost‑effective for heavy data users.

Giga.Tel does not provide a New Zealand eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capabilities. The available plans are data‑only, so users cannot receive or send traditional text messages or make calls with a local number. Travelers can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for messaging and calling without needing a phone number.

Giga.Tel currently lists 71 multi‑country eSIM data plans that include coverage in New Zealand, with no single‑country offerings for the country. Prices for these plans range from about $4.49 to $154.49, and the data limits vary from 1 GB up to 90 GB. Within the catalogue 19 plans feature daily data caps, while 52 provide fixed data amounts.
