Nomad eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for New Zealand. The plans branded as “unlimited” actually have a fixed high‑speed data allowance, such as 2 GB per day for its local New Zealand offers or 37.5 GB for its regional APAC options, after which the speed is reduced.

Customers who need larger amounts of data can choose from Nomad’s fixed‑data options. For example, the Regional APAC plan gives 50 GB for 45 days and the Regional Global‑EX plan offers 50 GB for a full year, both providing a single, large data block without daily caps. These plans can be a more cost‑effective choice unless the traveller expects to use an exceptionally large amount of data nightly.

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 provides 10 single‑country plans and 28 multi‑country plans for New Zealand, a combined total of 38 options. Prices span from about $4.50 to $170.00 USD, while data caps range between 1 GB and 75 GB. Some of these plans use a fixed data amount for the entire validity period, whereas a smaller subset offers a daily data cap.
