Usage is spread across every day of the plan's validity, with a clear peak on July 15 at 0.69 GB - coinciding with the single highest session recorded, 200 MB at 01:03. One interesting detail emerges from the log: the first 3 sessions (144.82 MB) were recorded in Australia on July 11, before the device moved to New Zealand the following day, where it stayed for the rest of the observed period. The switch from one country to the other caused no interruption and no extra charge: the connection simply kept working, automatically attaching to the available local network. No FUP, no throttling, no blocks: truly unlimited data in both countries.

⚡ Why choose the BLIVALE Australia and New Zealand Unlimited eSIM
Not all "unlimited" eSIMs are the same. Many providers apply a Fair Usage Policy that cuts speed after just a few GB, making the plan effectively unusable for video, browsing, or remote work. BLIVALE works differently:
- Zero FUP: no hidden limits, no clause that cuts speed after X GB
- One eSIM for two countries: the same profile works in both Australia and New Zealand, no need to buy two separate eSIMs
- Hotspot included: share your connection with a laptop, tablet, or other devices
- Automatic 24-hour reset: high-speed traffic resets every day, keeping performance consistent
- Guaranteed minimum speed: 10 Mbps even during peak network times
- Vodafone (Australia) and Vodafone / Spark (New Zealand) networks, among the local networks with the widest coverage in both countries
- Automatic activation: the QR profile arrives by email within 1-4 hours of purchase and activates on the day it's installed, as long as an internet connection is available
- No extra charges when moving between countries: as the real log shows, switching networks between Australia and New Zealand causes no extra costs or interruptions
- Technical support via WhatsApp and email
- No contract and no ID required for purchase or activation
💳 Available plans - eSIM Australia and New Zealand Unlimited

📡 Coverage and network in Australia and New Zealand
The BLIVALE Australia and New Zealand eSIM roams on the local networks Vodafone (Australia) and Vodafone / Spark (New Zealand), providing extensive coverage in the main cities and along tourist routes in both countries, with a guaranteed minimum speed of 10 Mbps and a high-speed traffic reset every 24 hours:
Coverage is extensive across the main urban centers and the most popular tourist routes: the Australian East Coast from Sydney to Cairns, and New Zealand's South Island cities from Christchurch to Queenstown. Your device automatically attaches to the available network as soon as you land, and - as the real usage data shows - switching from one country to the other is handled with no interruptions and no extra charges. In more remote national park areas (for example, the more isolated stretches of Fiordland around Milford Sound), coverage depends on the local mobile network available, as with any operator.
