New Zealand has three major mobile operators: Spark, One NZ (formerly Vodafone) and 2degrees. One NZ and 2degrees cover around 98.5 percent of the population, Spark around 97 percent. Spark has the broadest national coverage, especially in remote areas and on the South Island. In cities and tourist spots the 4G coverage is good, but on remote roads and in the mountains reception can drop out. Networks: Spark, One NZ, 2degrees.
For long road trips and remote parts of the South Island, a plan on the Spark network is the safest choice for the broadest coverage.
New Zealand has many sparsely populated areas where mobile reception on remote roads and in national parks can drop out completely.
