Nomad eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Nomad does not offer a true unlimited data eSIM for New Zealand. The plans that carry the word “unlimited” in their names actually provide 2GB of high‑speed data per day for 3 to 10 days, after which the speed would be reduced – they are not unlimited in the sense of having no cap on data usage.

Fixed data plans are available instead. For example, a 20GB package valid for 30 days costs $23.00 USD, and a 50GB regional plan valid for 45 days costs $72.00 USD. These plans give a higher data allowance without the daily limits of the “unlimited” name, and may be more cost effective for most travelers unless extremely high data consumption is expected.

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.
