Travelling at the moment and came across this eSIM provider that appears to offer cheap prepaid 4G data in NZ.
$9 USD for 3GB of 4G data (through Vodafone's network) with 30-day expiry.
As it's eSIM only it does require a compatible handset (eg iPhone XS, XR, 11).
For comparison, 2gb of 4G data on Spark prepaid currently costs $29.

Keep in mind this doesn't include a phone number.
Any other eSIM alternatives? I have a phone with a work number and am keen to use another SIM for more data.
I know that 2Degrees don’t support at the moment.
Depends on how much extra data you need but best I've found locally for small amounts is Warehouse mobile where you can buy 500mb data packs for $4 https://www.warehousemobile.co.nz/pricing/
I actually am looking for an eSIM carrier (not normal SIM) so that I can have my work (Orcon) and personal (2Degrees) on one phone.
I have the 2Degrees so I can use data clock and get additional GBs.
Thanks for sharing. I recommend trying this for finding a good SIM card for your travels:
