deUnderstand how eSIM works and how to setup a travel eSIM on your devices

New Zealand is filled with breathtaking, surprisingly varied terrain, gorgeous blue waters, and a rich, fascinating culture that's waiting for you to come and learn. When you visit the spectacular country, you're sure to experience some of the most beautiful vistas in the world. In fact, wherever you are in New Zealand, as you look outside, the view is awe-inspiring.

From mountains and fjords to active volcanoes and glaciers – there's so much beauty to see!

To get the most out of your experience in New Zealand, you should most definitely venture outside the major cities. But as you'll find out, the country's free WiFI services are quite limited. While you may find free WiFi around Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington, and Dunedin, in some more remote places, it will be much trickier.

One solution is to connect to the local cellular network. But to do this, you will need a local SIM from one of the country's providers – Spark, Skinny, One NZ, or another. Unfortunately, mobile data in New Zealand can be expensive.

For this reason, it's best to choose an eSIM, ideally from third-party mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). This way, you'll get access to the internet and, in some cases, even a phone number, which allows you to send texts and make phone calls.

But how can you know which are the best eSIM plans for New Zealand? In this article, we'll compare several different plans to help you make your decision.
