Skratch eSIM Data Plans for New Zealand

Skratch does not offer truly unlimited high‑speed data for New Zealand. All plans that carry the label “Unlimited” provide a daily data allowance of 2GB; once that limit is reached, the speed drops to a reduced rate of 1000kbps for New Zealand‑only plans. If a traveler needs more data without the daily restriction, Skratch has fixed‑amount plans available. For example, a 30‑day plan with 20GB of high‑speed data costs $28.99 USD, while a 10GB plan for the same period is $18.99 USD and a 5GB plan is $10.99 USD. These fixed‑demand plans may be more cost‑effective for users who intend to consume a large amount of data during their stay.

Skratch does not provide an eSIM for New Zealand that includes a phone number or SMS support; only data‑only plans are offered.

If you need to communicate while traveling, you can use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for calls and messaging. Some destinations, however, may block or restrict certain apps, so travelers should verify that the VoIP services they rely on are accessible in New Zealand before purchasing an eSIM from Skratch.

Skratch has 11 single‑country eSIM packages that cover only New Zealand and another 11 multi‑country packages that include New Zealand. The single‑country options are based on a fixed data amount, ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB for prices between $3.99 and $209.70, and are valid for 3 to 30 days. The multi‑country bundles often use a daily data‑cap model; some plans provide a fixed amount in advance while others allocate a smaller daily allotment, but the overall data range and price band remain the same.
