When should I buy an eSIM for New Zealand?
Any time before you travel. The plan's validity only starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in New Zealand, so you can buy as soon as you book, install on Wi-Fi at home, and it activates when you land.
Can I top up my New Zealand eSIM if I run out of data?
Yes. If you run low, you can add more data to the same eSIM in a couple of taps from your account, right in the browser, without buying a new one or changing your number.
Will the eSIM work in my phone?
Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM (iPhone XS and later, recent Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models) and must be carrier-unlocked. If your phone shows an "Add eSIM" option in settings, you're good.
