Spark sells two pack families for travel outside New Zealand. The Roaming Pack comes in two options. The 10 day pack gives 3 GB of data plus 300 minutes out, 300 minutes in and 300 texts. The 30 day pack gives 20 GB of data with the same 300 minutes out, 300 minutes in and 300 texts. The Roaming Data Pack is data only: 20 GB for 30 days with no calls or texts included.
Both families cover the same destination list: the USA, the UK, Canada, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia (Bali), Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Dubai (UAE), Vietnam, Turkey, Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland and Australia.
Packs are bought in the Spark app: choose your destination, select a pack, accept the terms and swipe to confirm. A bought pack activates instead of Daily Roaming. Daily Roaming is the fallback and it activates when you make or answer a call (including to voicemail), send a text or use data, including background data, in an eligible destination. A Daily Roaming day runs 00:00 to 23:59 NZ time, and days you do not use roaming are not charged. Daily Roaming applies to Pay Monthly plans and excludes Kids Plan and Prepaid.
Spark texts you at 80% and 100% of your roaming pack inclusions. Pay Monthly customers also have a default casual roaming data cap; once it is reached, data stops working while calls and texts still work. Roaming data caps are available on Pay Monthly only, not Prepaid.
A data-only eSIM has no phone number. If you keep your Spark SIM in the phone, it stays available for calls, texts and bank codes, while the eSIM carries mobile data. Slashtel sells prepaid data-only travel eSIMs for 190+ countries. The eSIM is installed by QR code before the trip and switched on when you land, and it connects to local networks with network selection automatic. Compare each Spark pack above with live data eSIM prices for the same trip, destination by destination, and check the table on this page for the destinations where the eSIM costs less.
