nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

There are no truly unlimited data eSIM plans for New Zealand from nextSIM. The plans listed with “Unlimited” in the name actually provide a 1GB per day allowance (or a fixed 1GB to 2GB total) and, once that limit is reached, the speed is throttled to either 512 kbps or 2000 kbps. Because the data cap is still in place, the service is not unlimited high‑speed data.

Users who need larger data allowances can choose one of nextSIM’s fixed data plans, such as the eSIM Pro New Zealand 200GB 90‑day plan, which offers 200 GB of high‑speed data for 90 days, or the 120‑ and 180‑day variants with the same amount of data. These plans avoid speed throttling and can be more cost‑effective for travelers who anticipate heavy data usage.

nextSIM does not provide a New Zealand eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available for that destination. Travelers can instead use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages without a phone number or SMS.

Nextsim provides a total of 152 data plans that cover New Zealand, split into 77 single‑country options and 75 multi‑country options. Prices range from $1.68 to $1, 295.03 USD, while data caps vary from 1 GB up to 200 GB. Some plans use a fixed data amount that is available for a set validity period, whereas others apply a daily data cap that limits the amount you can use each day.
