I will be in NZ Wanaka for 10 days and need mobile plan/sim for the trip.
Wife is Optus, last year trip she had to pay an extra $100 because of spam calls even when we do not pickup. Not sure did she get the daily international pass, I forgot
Any recommendation on what we mobile plan/sim we should get?
could set up call forwarding
Felix $10 + $20 for 4GB. Includes 100 minutes of calls (used for both receiving calls whilst overseas and to make calls to AU numbers from overseas).
This is nice if you need to receive calls as you /don't/ port your regular number to Felix, just setup call forwarding from your regular number to Felix.
When you get home just cancel the Felix plan.
Alternatively check out eskimo and Ubigi for eSIMs.
Using a Mobile phone Overseas – eSIM, Travel SIM, International Roaming
- Kogan Mobile: SIM | 30-day | 15GB | NZ$5 – requires NZ delivery
I purchased the Kogan $5 sim. The internet was unusable. End up not using it. I was in New Zealand Cardrona
Just an FYI for anyone considering Kogan $5 sim. Call is fine
I have Aus Vodafone, Optus and Telstra. Telstra uses Telecom NZ and that is the best reception and internet when up in Cardrona
$10 Optus Prepaid Sim & $20 Roaming Pack - equivalent to 10GB
Alternatively, check over eSIMDB if you have an eSIM Compatible phone.
Just disable Roaming on your Telstra/Optus SIM/account dashboard and have WiFi Calling enabled.
