Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in New Zealand. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Most visitors explore New Zealand by campervan or rental car, and navigation, campsite bookings and ferry tickets between the North and South Islands all need data. Many campsites and holiday parks have only paid or limited Wi-Fi.

Coverage is good in towns and along most main highways. The road to Milford Sound, the West Coast between towns, Arthur’s Pass and many of the Great Walks have long stretches with no signal.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

New Zealand eSIM questions

Will it work on the road to Milford Sound?

Not for most of it. Coverage fades not long after Te Anau, and Milford Sound itself has very limited signal. Download your cruise booking and maps first.

Does it work on the Great Walks?

Mostly not. Huts and tracks are generally out of range; carry offline maps and a personal locator beacon on remote walks.

Does it work on the Cook Strait ferry?

Near Wellington and Picton, yes; in the middle of the strait the signal can drop for part of the crossing.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in New Zealand. Install it within 180 days of buying.
