Hi - Wondering if it is possible to activate a One NZ eSIM while in Australia?

 

Wife requested a port of her number from Spark NZ to One NZ onto a monthly plan.
Recieved an email to say it will happen tomorrow ~ 8am.

 

She flys out to Australia tomorrow and should be there ~ 9am.

 

Will she be able to activate the eSIM while there? And then we can enable roaming on her account?

 

Anyone done this before?

 

Thanks

If porting commences at 8am on the dot tomorrow, and the number connects to the home network first, roaming should be enabled.

 

Otherwise roaming will be disabled. At best you'll get WiFi-Calling. At worst, eSIM doesn't activate.

 

 

 

I really would delay this until back, because she won't be in NZ.
