A local SIM card in New Zealand is not necessary if you use an eSIM. Vlex eSIM lets you connect to the network without a physical SIM card, making the whole process much more convenient.
Mobile internet speed in New Zealand is generally high, with 4G coverage across most populated areas. With an eSIM from Vlex eSIM, you can enjoy stable and fast internet throughout your stay.
Not all phones support eSIM, but most modern smartphones, including iPhone and many Android devices, are compatible. Before travelling to New Zealand, check whether your device supports eSIM.
Mobile network coverage in New Zealand is generally good, especially in cities and larger towns. In remote and rural areas the signal can be limited, so an eSIM from Vlex eSIM helps you stay connected wherever coverage is available.
Using an eSIM in New Zealand is usually cheaper and more convenient than international roaming. You can avoid high roaming charges and access local-style data options, making your trip more budget-friendly.
QR arrived a minute after payment. Installed at home over Wi-Fi, data switched on automatically at the arrival airport.
Smooth checkout, QR in about two minutes. Not a single dropout during the trip.
Third purchase here. Pay, scan, go — still works every time.
Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
