FAQs

Is HelloRoam contract-free for Kiwi travellers heading on their OE?

HelloRoam eSIM plans require no contract, no subscription, and no carrier commitment. You pay once for the data you need, and the plan expires when the days or data run out. Nothing to cancel. That beats any Spark or One NZ international roaming add-on tied to your monthly bill.

Do HelloRoam eSIM plans bundle data or is it bought separately?

HelloRoam requires you to choose a data plan when you buy. You cannot load an eSIM profile to your phone without picking one first. Browse the full catalogue by country, region, or city to find the right fit. Plans start from NZ$1.77 per day with no hidden charges.

Does my phone support eSIM?

eSIM support depends on your device model and carrier unlock status. To check, open Settings and look for Add eSIM or SIM card manager. Phones that work with HelloRoam include iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. Check the HelloRoam devices page before you buy to confirm compatibility.

Where do New Zealand travellers buy a HelloRoam e-sim plan?

HelloRoam eSIM plans are bought directly at helloroam.com in under 10 minutes. Browse by destination, pick your data amount and trip length, and pay online. Your QR code arrives by email within 2 to 5 minutes. No shop visit, no paperwork. Scan it on the right device before you fly out of Auckland or Christchurch.

Can Kiwi travellers buy a travel eSIM online before flying from Auckland or Christchurch?

HelloRoam sells eSIM plans entirely online at helloroam.com. Pick your destination, choose fixed data (3GB to 20GB) or an unlimited daily plan, and pay with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. Your QR code and setup guide arrive by email right after checkout. No physical SIM ships.

How do Kiwis activate a travel eSIM before leaving New Zealand?

Getting an e-sim online with HelloRoam takes about 5 minutes. Go to helloroam.com, search for your destination, pick a plan, and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within 2 to 5 minutes. Scan it before you head off from Wellington or Auckland, and you land with data already running.

Do I need Wi-Fi to activate my eSIM?

HelloRoam eSIM activation needs an internet connection to scan and download the profile initially. Use your home Wi-Fi or a friend's network before you travel. Once the eSIM profile sits on your phone, it connects to local networks the moment you land. You do not need Wi-Fi after that to use your data.

What is the difference between fixed and unlimited data plans?

Fixed eSIM data plans give a set amount (3GB, 5GB, 10GB, or 20GB) valid for 12 to 30 days at a lower price. Unlimited plans give you unrestricted data for a set number of days. Fixed plans cost less overall. If you stream video, run a hotspot, or video call family back in New Zealand, an unlimited plan gives you more freedom.

Can I buy multiple eSIM plans at once?

HelloRoam lets you buy multiple eSIM plans in one order. Each plan covers a separate country or region and activates when you arrive. All QR codes land in your inbox within 2 minutes of purchase. This works great for OE trips or multi-stop holidays heading from Auckland through Tokyo, Bali, and London.

What countries does HelloRoam cover?

HelloRoam covers 185+ countries with eSIM data plans across 199+ mobile networks. Browse plans by country, region (like Europe or Southeast Asia), or city. Every destination page lists available networks, data sizes, and prices. Top destinations for Kiwi travellers include the UK, Australia, Japan, Thailand, and Bali.
