    Activated the eSIM while still in the airport and got online almost instantly. Ordered a taxi and contacted my hotel without searching for WiFi.

  • Mykyta Skrypets

    Works smoothly, no issues so far. Stable, fast and does what it promises. Have a detailed guide that really helps. Super easy to follow

  • Nanangtisna

    The app itself is very convenient. I liked being able to manage everything from one place without scanning QR codes

  • Ali Shakir Mahmood

    The most flexible data plans. Highly recommend using the calculator on their site. It allows complete freedom over your holiday internet data budget. Never overpaying for data again! ✨ Highly satisfied with service.

  • Egor

    Great internet speed abroad. Streaming videos and using maps worked perfectly. Speed was surprisingly good in most places.

  • Benny Osafo

    No confusing conditions or hidden payments. Everything is straightforward.

  • Matias Fernandez

    Thought it might be tricky, but it was actually super easy. Got online in minutes and didn’t think about it again.

  • Matthew Scott

    Only needed internet for a few days and didn’t want any long-term plans. What I liked is that you can just choose exactly how many days and how much data you need with their calculator. No fixed packages, no overpaying for extra GB you won’t use. And if you run out, you can always top up. Super flexible.

Trusted by leading companies in various industries.
Small to enterprise.

Just open the app, set it up, and forget about connection issues.

What is an eSIM in New Zealand

An eSIM (embedded SIM, sometimes written as e-SIM) is a digital SIM built directly into your smartphone. You activate mobile data by scanning a QR code — no physical SIM card required.

Flexible eSIM Plans for New Zealand

eSIM vs Physical SIM in New Zealand

Buying a physical SIM card in New Zealand usually involves:

  • Visiting a mobile operator store

  • Showing identification

For many travellers it also means comparing local and international SIM card options before even leaving the airport.

With a digital New Zealand eSIM, everything happens online. You can buy your eSIM before departure and activate it immediately upon arrival.
