Sim Local eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Sim Local does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for New Zealand. All plans that include “Unlimited” in the name actually provide a fixed high‑speed data allowance of 10GB per day; after that limit the speed is typically reduced, but the plan does not offer unlimited data.

Travelers can instead choose from a range of fixed‑data plans. For example, the Global 30 GB plan is valid for 30 days at 30GB, and the Orange Holiday World 20 GB plan offers 20GB for 31 days. These fixed data options are available for use throughout New Zealand and can be more cost‑effective for most users unless a truly unlimited data experience is required.

Sim Local does not offer a New Zealand eSIM that includes a phone number with inbound or outbound voice or SMS capability. The provider only sells data‑only eSIM plans for New Zealand. Travelers who need to send or receive traditional SMS or place voice calls can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection instead.

Sim Local offers seven single‑country eSIM data plans that cover New Zealand alone, and seven multi‑country plans that include New Zealand with other destinations. Prices for the New Zealand‑only plans range from about $3.75 to $49.25, with data caps between 1 GB and 30 GB and validity periods of 1 to 31 days. The catalogue includes two daily‑cap plans, where the data allowance refreshes each day, and twelve fixed‑cap plans, where the data amount is allocated once for the validity period, providing options for both short‑term and longer‑term data usage.
