I'm planning a trip to New Zealand and want to know if I can use hotspot or tethering with my eSIM. I need to keep my devices connected while I'm out exploring. Does anyone have experience using this feature with an eSIM there?

Yes, you can use hotspot tethering with your eSIM in New Zealand. Just make sure your device settings allow tethering and that your data plan supports it. It should work seamlessly!

Hotspotting worked fine for me in New Zealand, but the connection was better in urban areas compared to rural ones. Just a tip!

I ran into some issues with hotspotting in more remote places. It worked fine in cities, but I'd recommend downloading maps ahead of time just in case!

I found the hotspot feature really useful, but remember to change your settings to conserve battery while using it. Enjoy your trip!

I had no problems with tethering my eSIM data in New Zealand during my travels. Just know that streaming might use up your data faster!
