Getting connected

Land first.
Then install.

  1. Before you fly

    Your setup details arrive by email.

    We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.

    Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.

  2. After you land

    Connect to Wi-Fi. Then install.

    Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.

    Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.

    Before you go onlineSelect your travel eSIM for mobile data and turn on Data Roaming for that eSIM. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM.

    Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.

Phone checkYour phone comes first.

Check that your phone supports eSIM and is network unlocked before buying.

For the journey

New Zealand eSIM data for the journey

For Auckland and Rotorua, or Christchurch and Queenstown, plan for the driving days as well as the towns. Download offline maps, save accommodation details and keep ferry or activity bookings on your phone before leaving Wi-Fi. A country-wide plan listing does not mean every rural road or mountain pass has reception.

Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.

Compare the available plans

Data plansOne data allowance to use across the whole trip.

Day passesA set amount of high-speed data each day.

Choose fixed data for one allowance across the plan, or daily high-speed data for a fresh allowance at each reset. Compare the total price, reset time and reduced-speed terms before choosing.

Buy New Zealand eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.

North Island, South Island or both?

For Auckland and Rotorua, or Christchurch and Queenstown, plan for the driving days as well as the towns. Download offline maps, save accommodation details and keep ferry or activity bookings on your phone before leaving Wi-Fi. A country-wide plan listing does not mean every rural road or mountain pass has reception.

If you are taking the ferry between the North and South Islands, allow for periods without a mobile signal. The same data budget continues across the trip; changing islands does not give you a fresh allowance. Match the validity period to the full holiday, including arrival and departure days.

A campervan is a different data budget

Streaming in the evening, sharing with a laptop and uploading travel videos can use much more data than navigation. Check the selected offer’s hotspot terms and your own recent phone usage. Save offline maps before setting off and use accommodation Wi-Fi for large downloads where available.

Daily high-speed options are day passes with a set high-speed amount each day. After that daily amount is used, speeds may reduce until the next daily reset.

These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.

Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
