MicroEsim eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

MicroEsim does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for New Zealand. All of the plans listed under the “Unlimited” banner actually give 1 GB of high‑speed data per day and, once that daily allocation is used, the speed is reduced to 5000 kbps. These plans are marketed with names that contain the word “Unlimited,” but the data cap of 1 GB/day means they are not unlimited in the expected sense.

If a visitor prefers a fixed‑data option, MicroEsim offers several plans. For example, the New Zealand 30 days Unlimited 5Mbps plan gives a total of 30 GB (1 GB per day) for $112.11 USD, while the New Zealand 60 days Total 60GB plan provides 60 GB for $146.19 USD. Both plans include tethering, a reduced speed of 128 kbps after the data limit is reached, and 4G/5G coverage across New Zealand. Choosing a fixed data plan may be more cost‑effective unless a traveler expects to use high‑speed data continuously beyond the daily allotment.

MicroEsim does not provide an eSIM for New Zealand that includes a local phone number or the ability to send or receive SMS. The plans offered by MicroEsim in New Zealand are data‑only and do not support inbound or outbound voice or text messaging. Travelers who need to stay in contact can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages without a traditional phone number.

MicroEsim currently offers 42 single-country data plans specifically for New Zealand. Additionally, they provide 136 multi-country plans that include New Zealand as part of their coverage. These plans offer varying data allowances, ranging from 200MB to 60GB, and can be used for durations of 1 to 60 days. Some plans provide a fixed data amount, while others offer a daily data cap, with prices falling between $0.98 and $155.19. Certain plans may also include features like tethering or reduced speeds after a specific data usage threshold.
