Nomad eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Nomad does not offer a truly unlimited data plan for New Zealand. All of its New Zealand‑specific eSIMs have a fixed data allowance; the highest options include 75 GB for 10 days and 50 GB for 30 days. Plans that carry “unlimited” in their name contain a capped amount of high‑speed data and, once that limit is reached, the speed is reduced, although the dataset does not list the throttled speed.

Choosing a fixed‑data eSIM can be a cost‑effective choice for most travelers. The 75 GB 10‑day plan and the 50 GB 30‑day plan are examples of Nomad’s larger data offerings for New Zealand, providing substantial coverage on 4G networks.

Nomad does not provide an eSIM plan for New Zealand that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The only options available are data‑only eSIMs.

Travelers who need voice or text messaging can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which work over the data connection provided by the eSIM.

Nomad offers 9 single‑country data plans and 28 multi‑country plans for travelers in New Zealand. The plans are priced between $5.50 and $170.00 and provide data caps ranging from 1 GB to 75 GB, with validity periods that span from 5 to 365 days. Single‑country plans give you a fixed amount of data for use only in New Zealand, whereas multi‑country plans allow you to use the same data allowance across several destinations.
