A New Zealand eSIM is a virtual SIM card that connects you instantly to New Zealand mobile networks (Spark, Vodafone NZ, 2degrees) without a physical card. Plans start at $5.50 for 1 GB, up to $47 for unlimited.
Do you really need an eSIM? New Zealand is not in the European Union: no free EU roaming. International roaming charges are very high ($5-10/MB). An eSIM is therefore essential to avoid astronomical bills.

New Zealand is not a member of the European Union. No free roaming applies. French carriers typically charge $5-10 per MB in New Zealand, which can quickly generate bills of several hundred euros for just a few days of travel.
New Zealand has good 4G coverage in populated areas, but limited in remote areas, thanks to three major carriers:
| Carrier | Coverage | 5G | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spark | Excellent (urban areas) | Yes | Airalo, Ubigi |
| Vodafone NZ | Good (urban areas) | Yes | GoMoWorld, Holafly |
| 2degrees | Fair (urban areas) | Yes | Saily |
Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+

For all travelers to New Zealand, an eSIM is essential: no free EU roaming, prohibitive roaming charges ($5-10/MB).
Our recommendation: Airalo 10 GB at $13.50 with code ESIMP15 offers the best value on the Spark network (New Zealand leader).
For heavy users: Holafly unlimited eliminates any overage stress.
Important: Coverage is excellent in urban areas (Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown) but limited in remote areas (Fiordland). Plan for offline maps for mountain roads.
