Both One NZ & Kogan AU Provide eSIM. Chances of Kogan NZ Getting eSIM? AI Seems to Think That It Is Already Here

I googled if Kogan does e-Sim for NZ and got excited by ai's answer here - https://imgur.com/a/ceE6GkX

But been searching all morning and cannot see this anywhere else other than AI.. Good one ai..

Anyway - if I'm missing something and KoganMobile NZ does provide e-Sim, could someone advise how?

If not, I'm on the "Large" 15GB BOGOF plans and wondering if there are any equivalent value plans offered by any providers with e-Sim options please?

Thanks!!

  Nobody should be trusting anything that AI tells them at this point.

  It's a bit like just believing any random thing posted on the net without being discriminating as to source.

  Interesting that it's hard to get both grandparents and kids to understand though.

  Perhaps AI is confusing Kogan NZ with Kogan AU? which has had eSIM for a while now. Or assumes that Kogan NZ does eSIM because One NZ provides that option.

    Thanks mate, that sucks though! Got excited for a bit! Any other providers plans close to the kogan deals that provides e-sim that you are aware of?

      Mighty mobile will do deals occasionally and have esim (instant online signup and service). I am on their highest tier for $40pm but have seen their lowest tier for $25pm and they also have 365 day plans. Coverage is OK, Great in cities, hit or miss as a traveler. Honestly not any different to the big 3 ( I tried spark and virgin 3 month travel plans first and was not happy at all)

        Kogan/Vodafone actually has been really good. - so hoping to keep that sort of performance if possible.

  Issue is if you are going to travel overseas and get a data only esim, you will loose the ability to have your kogan mobile on.

  Any options to consider as viable alternative to Kogan but one that also allows e-SIm?

    You get everything a physical SIM has and more.
    No need to remove an exisitng SIM card when you get an eSIM and they can be set up at any time - no need to go out a buy one as it's done online.
    You can have multiple eSIM profiles so if you travel frequently you can turn on/off the relevant eSIM with a simple setting change.
