Open the full route plannerAustralia and New Zealand are a few hours apart by air and are often booked as one trip, but they are separate countries with separate networks, and an Australia plan does not extend across the Tasman. Both have now closed 3G: Australia in 2024, New Zealand on 31 March 2026. Both also have rules or warnings about imported phones that cannot make emergency calls over 4G. And in both, coverage follows population, leaving large areas of land without any signal.
