Stress Free Travel with Solid Performance 👌

This was my first time using a travel eSIM and I was a bit unsure at first, but it ended up being incredibly simple. The QR code arrived instantly and installation only took a few minutes before departure. Once I arrived in New Zealand, everything connected automatically. No manual setup needed beyond turning on roaming. The speeds were fast enough for streaming, uploading, and video calls. I also used the hotspot feature quite a bit for my laptop, which worked without any issues. Overall, it removed a lot of the usual stress that comes with staying connected overseas.

Made the Trip So Much Easier 😍

I organised the eSIM before leaving Australia and honestly it was one of the best decisions I made for the trip. As soon as I landed in Auckland, I had data straight away after activating in the airport, without needing to find Wi-Fi or buy a SIM at the airport. I travelled across multiple cities including Rotorua and Queenstown, and the connection stayed strong throughout. I used my phone heavily for maps, bookings, and staying in touch with family back home. The Unlimited 5G plan was perfect! I didn’t feel restricted at all and still had data left at the end. Having a New Zealand number also made it easier when dealing with local tours and reservations. Would absolutely use this again for my next trip.

Great Overall With One Small Issue

Everything worked well once connected, but I had to restart my phone once after activating the eSIM to get it going. After that, no problems at all. Coverage and speed were very good across the North Island.
