Data Roaming
Telecom data roaming lets you check emails, send files, browse the internet, and access some WAP and MMS services while you’re overseas.
With our XT Mobile Network you can now roam to over 110 destinations for data, with a smaller number of destinations for Prepaid customers.
Our simple, zone-based pricing means you’ll always know how much your data will cost regardless of what network you’re on or what time of day you’re using it.
To check our data roaming coverage, just choose a country below.
Check your Postpaid data roaming rates
Remember: TWorld and Your Telecom services are free within New Zealand but will be charged at the data rate for the zone you’re in while you’re overseas.
TWorld and Your Telecom are not available for data cards or USB modems.
Minimise your data usage
While data roaming is a great way to stay in touch with business or home - you'll be charged to download and upload data, including software and antivirus updates or upgrades. Bills can quickly add up.
For example: if your laptop automatically downloaded a security update of 30mb it could cost you up to $900 depending on where you are, and you may not even be aware it happened until you received your bill back in New Zealand.
To avoid this we recommend turning off any automatic software updates before you leave New Zealand. For full instruction on how to do this please read our guide on how to minimise your data usage while roaming (PDF).

When you arrive
Your mobile device will be ready to use as soon as you touch down.
