Spark eSIM: What Alt eSIM Actually Gives You

What You Get and What You Don't

When you buy from Alt eSIM, you get a travel eSIM that roams onto Spark's network in New Zealand and Australia + New Zealand. This means you can enjoy data services in these destinations without needing a physical SIM card. However, it's important to note that Alt eSIM is not affiliated with Spark, so we do not sell Spark's own SIM or plans. We offer our own eSIM that connects to Spark's network. If you're looking for Spark's direct offerings, this is not it. Our eSIM is designed for travelers who need flexible and temporary connectivity.

Applicable Destinations

Our Spark eSIM is specifically designed for use in New Zealand and Australia + New Zealand. These destinations are popular among travelers for their stunning landscapes and vibrant cities. With our eSIM, you can stay connected as you explore places like Auckland, Sydney, and beyond. The eSIM automatically connects to Spark's network when you arrive in these areas, ensuring you have access to data services without any hassle. Just make sure your device is eSIM compatible and activated before your trip.

Choosing the Right Plan Shape

When selecting a plan, you have the option between daily plans and total data tiers. Daily plans are ideal for travelers who want a consistent daily allowance, with each day offering 1GB of data. On the other hand, total data tiers are suitable for those who prefer to manage their data usage over the entire trip. We offer various tiers ranging from 3GB to 50GB, allowing you to choose based on the length of your stay and your data needs. Consider your travel habits and data requirements to pick the best option for you.

Getting Connected

Connecting with our Spark eSIM is straightforward. Once you receive your eSIM, you'll need to scan the QR code to install it on your device. After installation, activate the eSIM and ensure your device is set to use the correct network settings. When you arrive in New Zealand or Australia + New Zealand, your device will automatically connect to Spark's network. It's important to have a stable internet connection to download the eSIM profile before your trip. This ensures a smooth connection process upon arrival.

What Happens When the Allowance Runs Out

Once your data allowance is used up, your connection speed will drop to 128 or 384 kbps. This speed is still usable for basic tasks like browsing, email, and messaging, but it may be too slow for streaming or downloading large files. If you need more data, you can purchase additional data packs through our website or app. It's a good idea to monitor your data usage throughout your trip to avoid unexpected slowdowns. Remember, the slower speed is a temporary measure to ensure you stay connected without incurring additional charges.
