Yes. You can get Prepay card and use their $10/100MB a month package.

If you have an unlocked Telstra modem then I recommend you get a prepay pack from Telecom New Zealand instead of Vodafone.

That's because Telecom operates on the same band (850 MHz) as Telstra, which means you will have 3G coverage wherever you go. Vodafone operates in different bands (900/2100 MHz which will not give you the same coverage).

If you just want voice try either 2Degrees or Vodafone. If you want data using the Telstra modem try Telecom.
