Great Sim for NZ
I bought the 2GB 30 day e-sim and then realised that my phone didn't take e-sims. Sim Corner were very responsive and offered me a refund. In the end, I gave it to my partner and bought the same sized physical SIM at the airport. Texts and calls were plenty for the 20 days I was there and 2GB data was more than enough. I used wifi in accommodation, Organic Maps (great offline, free map app) for most navigation, and kept mobile data off unless I needed to look something up. Great service and a good product.
Found E-Sims awkward.
Ordering two e-sims on the one order was an issue. We only received one activation code and could not activated the second sim on another phone. We ended up buying another e-sim from a provider in NZ which loaded without issues. Under time pressure could not be bothered emailing all the details required for a fix. Note to self order on separate orders.
Activation issues
Encountered activation issues upon arrival in New Zealand. Followed instructions which included dialing 777 to follow the prompts to complete activation. Dialing 777 did not work-nothing happened, no ring tone, no prompts. We had to find wi fi to email support who initially responded quite quickly but we encountered persistant problem and it took several hours for the issue to be resolved. It was frustrating that the only communication with support was via email as we had to wait some time for replies. We feel it would have been much quicker to resolve via a phone conversation. Once finally activated, the eSim worked fine.
Very good.
It worked very well all our trip!
NZ eSim
Was so easy to install, loved their was no physical sim to worry about. Was informed as the data got low so no surprises. Highly recommene.
