Nomad eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for New Zealand. The plans that carry “unlimited” in their names actually give a daily allowance of 2GB; once the 2GB/day limit is reached, the data speed would be reduced (the exact throttled speed is not specified in the available information).

Instead, Nomad offers fixed‑data plans that may be more suitable for users needing larger data volumes. For example, a 30‑day local New Zealand plan supplies 20GB of high‑speed data, and a 45‑day regional APAC plan delivers 50GB of data. These fixed data options can be more cost‑effective for travelers who require substantial data usage without the daily cap restrictions.

Nomad does not offer New Zealand eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. All Nomad eSIMs for New Zealand are data‑only.

If you need to make voice calls or send text messages, you can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which work over the data connection.

Nomad provides 10 single‑country data plans specifically for New Zealand and 27 multi‑country plans that include New Zealand as part of a broader regional coverage. Plans vary from a modest $4.50 to $170 USD, offering 1 GB up to 50 GB of data with validity ranging from 3 to 365 days. Some plans cap data on a daily basis, while others give a fixed data amount for the entire validity period.
