This combination eSIM gets you online in 2 countries: Australia and New Zealand. In Australia it connects to Optus, the country's second-largest mobile operator, and in New Zealand to Spark, one of the three major operators, with broad national coverage. In cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland and Wellington, in tourist towns like Queenstown and in the most popular travel regions you get fast 4G, and 5G where the network offers it. In the Australian Outback and on remote roads and mountain passes in New Zealand, reception drops out over long stretches. Networks: Optus, Spark.
For a three to four week trip through both countries with navigation, photo sharing and WhatsApp calls, 10 to 20 GB is a comfortable choice. The 1 GB plan for 7 days suits a short stopover or a few days in one city.
Australia and New Zealand are outside the EU, so EU roam-like-at-home rules do not apply and roaming on your home plan is often expensive. Install the eSIM over wifi before you leave, so you are online as soon as you land after the long flight.

Yes. Our eSIM gives you instant mobile data in Australia & New Zealand on the local networks, with no roaming fees. Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked.
It depends on your trip. For mostly maps and messaging, 1 to 3 GB is plenty. If you use navigation, social media and some streaming, plan for roughly 1 GB every two to three days.
Right after payment. You receive a QR code on screen and by email immediately. It is best to install it at home over Wi-Fi before you leave.

Yes. In Australia the eSIM connects to Optus, and as soon as you land in New Zealand and switch off airplane mode, it moves over to Spark by itself within a few minutes. Just make sure data roaming is switched on for the eSIM. There is nothing to swap or reinstall, and your data simply keeps counting down from the same allowance.
In the cities and along the main tourist routes, reception is good. In the Outback, Optus mainly has signal in and around the towns, and in between it drops out over long stretches. Telstra reaches further there, but this eSIM does not use that network. On the South Island Spark has broad coverage, although the signal can drop out on mountain passes and in national parks, so download offline maps in advance.
With daily navigation, photo sharing and some WhatsApp calls, 10 to 20 GB is plenty. If you mostly stay in hotels or hostels with wifi, 5 to 10 GB is often enough. The plans are valid for a maximum of 30 days.
If you visit both countries, the combination is the most convenient: one purchase, one installation and one data allowance for the whole trip. If you only go to one of the two, an eSIM for that single country usually works out cheaper. If getting as much data as possible matters most to you, compare the separate eSIMs for Australia and New Zealand as well.
