Collection: New Zealand eSIM

New Zealand is the overseas trip Australians make without a second thought — a short hop across the Tasman, whether you're chasing winter snow around Queenstown and Wanaka or plotting a South Island road trip for the school holidays. A prepaid New Zealand eSIM from $8 AUD gives you 4G/5G on partner networks where available — handy for checking alpine road conditions, navigating unfamiliar highways and filling the group chat with lake photos, with no roaming bill shock waiting at home.

Why an eSIM for New Zealand

• Prepaid and predictable — plans from $8 AUD, so you know the cost before you board.
• Instant delivery — your eSIM arrives by email as a QR code, ready to set up at home.
• Keep your Aussie number — it runs alongside your Australian SIM, so calls and texts still reach you.
• Top-ups and live tracking — watch your usage in the ESIMStore app for iPhone and Android, and top up if the trip runs long.

How it works

Pick the New Zealand plan that suits your trip and check out. Your QR code arrives by email straight away — scan it before you fly (see our how it works page for the full walkthrough). Land in Auckland, Christchurch or Queenstown and your data activates — online before you reach the rental car counter.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in New Zealand?

Most recent iPhones and Android phones support eSIM — just check your handset is unlocked. Your New Zealand plan installs alongside your Australian SIM, so you keep your usual number for calls and texts.

Do I need to buy a SIM card when I land in Auckland?

No — buy before you leave, we email your QR code instantly, and you scan it at home. Your data activates when you land, so you're connected from the arrivals hall.

Can I top up my New Zealand eSIM if I run out of data?

Yes — top-ups are available if the trip runs long. The ESIMStore app shows your live data usage, and our Australian-based support team can help if you get stuck.
