Frequently asked questions
How much does the New Zealand eSIM cost?
The New Zealand 50GB 180Days plan costs $45.65 for 50 GB over 180 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my New Zealand eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in New Zealand.

It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
Can I keep my regular number?
