New Zealand SIM Card

The prepaid SIM card for New Zealand with a world cell phone is the most convenient and economical solution for staying in touch while in New Zealand. All incoming calls while in New Zealand are FREE, regardless of where they originate. Pay the local rate for local calls and use your cellular phone in New Zealand like you do at home. And unlike home, your New Zealand SIM card and cell phone service is prepaid so there is no need for a contract.

For more information please refer to the User guide that comes with your package.

Please Note:
Your New Zealand SIM Card (Vodafone) will require a SIM-unlocked GSM 900 compatible international cell phone. If you do not have your own international cell phone, we have several models available for rental or purchase.

If you have a locked compatible GSM phone, you can easily unlock it. To do so, visit www.unlockingcodesforphones.com

Roaming Calls (calls placed when traveling outside of the country)

Your New Zealand Prepay SIM card can be used to roam in over 80 countries around the world. When you travel overseas, our roaming service makes sure your calls follow you. Unless you tell them, your callers won't even know you're away. Be advised that excluding Australia, roaming rates often exceed $1+ per minute for incoming calls and can exceed $2 per minute for outgoing calls.

Global Roaming is subject to credit criteria and you'll need to visit a Vodafone store to 'switch on' roaming each time and you'll need to take your mobile, a passport or drivers license photo ID and credit card and pay a set up fee of $10. Then, just switch on your mobile when you arrive overseas and it's business as usual.
