Lifesaver for navigating New Zealand Capital City Center & New Zealand Old Town Heritage Quarter
scanned the qr code at home the night before our flight and it took like 30 seconds. Way faster in New Zealand Capital City Center than the pocket wifi we rented last year. worked exactly as advertised, zero complaints
★★★★★
Stabiles One NZ Netz während unserer Reise
Hatten das Paket für unseren Trip über NZ Main Passenger Terminal vorab gebucht. Meine normale Nummer blieb für WhatsApp und Bank-SMS aktiv während die eSIM die Daten übernahm. Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und null Stress bei der Ankunft.
★★★★☆
Reliable data for New Zealand Capital City Center & New Zealand Old Town Heritage Quarter, quick setup
Speeds on One NZ were fast enough for facetime and video calls from New Zealand Capital City Center with zero lag. dropped to 4G LTE for a bit in rural areas outside New Zealand Old Town Heritage Quarter, but stayed super reliable overall.
