nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for travel in New Zealand. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their names all have listed data caps, such as 1 GB for the eSIM New Zealand Unlimited 1Days Standard plan or 2 GB for the eSIM New Zealand Unlimited Plus 1Days Standard plan. After the cap is reached, the speed is throttled to a reduced rate (512 kbps or 2000 kbps respectively).

If a higher data allowance is needed, nextSIM offers fixed‑data alternatives, for example the eSIM Pro New Zealand 200GB 90Days Mobile Data + SMS Number plan, which gives 200 GB for 90 days, or the various eSIM New Zealand Unlimited 3Days or 7Days Standard plans that provide 1 GB per day. These fixed plans can be more cost‑effective for users who are heavy data consumers.

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 offers 58 single‑country plans and 75 multi‑country plans that include New Zealand. The available packages range in price from about $1.69 to $1, 296.79 and in data allowance from 1 GB to 200 GB. Plans come in both daily‑cap and fixed‑data formats: daily‑cap plans limit the amount of data you can use each day, while fixed‑data plans give you a total data allotment that lasts for the plan’s validity period.
