Data for a New Zealand road trip
In New Zealand the plan uses the One NZ network. In Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown the connection works well. The country is mountainous, so there are gaps in Fiordland, on the Milford Sound road, in mountain passes and in national parks, and on the water in the fjords the signal usually vanishes altogether. Download offline maps and save your key bookings on the phone before a South Island road trip.
Wifi in hotels and hostels is often slow or capped on data, and in cafes it varies. Your own data makes ride services, maps and messaging apps easier to use, and booking confirmations and directions are always with you.
A local SIM can be bought at the airport or in shops, but it means queuing and swapping cards. The eSIM is installed at home and switched on when you arrive, so your own SIM stays in the phone. Calls go through WhatsApp or another data app. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan, so an eSIM is worth having on a longer road trip.

FAQ: New Zealand
Is there a signal on the South Island and at Milford Sound?
In towns yes. In Fiordland, on mountain roads and on the fjord waters there are gaps, so download offline maps first.
Local SIM or eSIM for New Zealand?
An eSIM is installed at home and avoids the airport queue. A local SIM means swapping cards, but gives you a New Zealand number.
Does an eSIM work in a campervan on the road?
Yes, wherever you are within range of the network. Gaps are common in remote valleys and mountain passes, so keep offline maps on the phone.
What can I use this eSIM for?
The plan is meant for mobile internet on your trip, for example maps, messages and browsing.
Will my own number still work?
Yes. Your own number and SIM card stay active for calls and messages. Choose the Reissaa eSIM for mobile data.
When should I buy the plan?
Buy and install the eSIM before you leave, while you have a stable internet connection.
Will my own mobile plan work in New Zealand?
EU roaming rules do not apply in New Zealand, and data on your own plan can be expensive. With an eSIM you know the price in advance.
Do I need a travel adapter for New Zealand?
Yes. The sockets in New Zealand are type I, and a European C/F plug does not fit. Voltage is 230 V.
What is the calling code for New Zealand?
The calling code for New Zealand is +64. To call your home country from abroad, dial its country code and leave out the leading zero of the number.
