Mobile phones, SIM cards and Wifi
Information about New Zealand mobile providers and WiFi connections on campus.
Mobiles and SIMs
Most of the New Zealand mobile providers are available to talk to at the airport if you want to get your phone sorted straight away. Your phone will need to be unlocked to work in New Zealand so they’ll be able to help with that.
There are sometimes free SIM cards available at the airport arrival gates so keep a look out for signs. We also have some available on campus so ask Accommodation, LU Students’ Association, International Office or the International Student Advisors.
Main providers in New Zealand are listed below and they offer prepay or plan options.
WiFi
The Lincoln University campus offers free WiFi to all students, this includes those living in campus accommodation. Here’s information on how to connect when you arrive:
