HelloRoam covers 185+ countries on 199+ networks, making it a reliable pick for Kiwis heading to Australia, Japan, the UK, Fiji, Bali, or beyond. Plans start from 3GB for a short Pacific island break up to 20GB for an extended OE. Your QR code lands in your inbox within 5 minutes of purchase. 24/7 support is included with every plan.
The HelloRoam app lets you browse, buy, and manage e-sim plans for 185+ countries straight from your phone. Check your remaining data, reinstall profiles, and reach the support team without jumping between apps. It's available on the App Store and Google Play. Kiwi travellers heading to Japan, Fiji, Australia, or the UK can get everything sorted before they leave home.
eSIM is great for international travel because it cuts out the airport SIM kiosk queue entirely. With HelloRoam, you set up your plan before you fly, scan the QR code, and get online the moment you land at Heathrow, Narita, Changi, or Denpasar. Your NZ number stays active on your physical SIM while the eSIM takes care of your data. No roaming surprise on your Spark or One NZ bill.
An eSIM needs an unlocked, compatible device. Most iPhones and Android phones released after 2018 support eSIM. Once installed, the HelloRoam profile is tied to that handset and cannot be moved to another device. Data-only plans do not include a local number, so voice calls run through WhatsApp or FaceTime. Most Kiwi travellers find these trade-offs minor compared to saving up to 84% versus standard Spark, One NZ, or 2degrees international roaming.
HelloRoam is a solid option for Kiwi travellers. It covers 185+ countries on 199+ networks with plans from NZ$1.77 per day. There are no contracts, no overage charges, and a clear refund policy if your plan is unused. Unlimited hotspot plans are available for heavier users and working holiday travellers who need data all day.
Getting an eSIM is worth it for almost every traveller heading overseas. A HelloRoam plan costs a fraction of what Spark, One NZ, or 2degrees charge for international roaming add-ons, and you set it up at home before your flight. For a trip to London, Bali, or Tokyo the savings and simplicity outweigh the 5-minute setup by a lot. Savings of up to 84% versus standard carrier rates are typical.
HelloRoam has eSIM plans for the United States that work across all major cities on premium local networks. Fixed data starts from 3GB for 12 days. Unlimited daily plans are also available. Kiwis visiting New York, Los Angeles, or Hawaii can get online from the moment they clear customs, without paying a daily roaming fee to their NZ carrier.
HelloRoam's Europe regional eSIM covers 30-plus countries under one plan. It works in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, and more, connecting to local networks including Vodafone Europe. Fixed data and unlimited daily options are both available. Kiwis on OE can set it all up before leaving Auckland or Wellington and be online from landing at any European airport.
A Europe eSIM is worth it if you're visiting more than one country. HelloRoam's Europe plan covers 30-plus countries for one flat price, which beats buying a separate SIM in London, then another in Paris, then another in Berlin. UK, French, German, and Spanish networks are all included. Get it sorted before you fly out of Auckland or Christchurch and you're connected from landing.
HelloRoam beats Airalo on a few important points: a clear refund policy (Airalo offers none), 24/7 live chat support, and access to premium networks across Australia, Japan, Fiji, and the UK. Airalo has broader name recognition, but HelloRoam covers 185+ countries through 199+ networks with no activation fees and plans from NZ$1.77 per day.
HelloRoam runs promotions during NZ school holidays, travel seasons, Black Friday, and major events. Subscribe to the newsletter for discount codes and early access. Groups and businesses buying multiple plans can get in touch for volume pricing. Check the promotions page for any current eSIM deals.
Airport tourist SIM cards in New Zealand and at most international destinations cost NZD 15 to 30 and often provide limited data. HelloRoam eSIM plans start from NZ$1.77 per day with no airport markup and instant digital delivery. No SIM kiosk queues required.
