Only partly. Limited on 2degrees, One NZ and Spark: see why on each card before you deploy.

4G bands in New Zealand · colour = frequency

below 1 GHz (coverage) 1–2.7 GHz 3–7 GHz mmWave · dashed = the JACS TD191-B lacks it · • = a main band

Why limited

2degrees · Main bands on 2degrees: B3 B28. The JACS TD191-B lacks B28, so coverage or capacity will be patchy. Its coverage bands (B28) carry indoor and rural service; the JACS TD191-B has none of them.

One NZ · Main bands on One NZ: B3 B28. The JACS TD191-B lacks B28, so coverage or capacity will be patchy. Its coverage bands (B28) carry indoor and rural service; the JACS TD191-B has none of them.

Spark · Main bands on Spark: B3 B28. The JACS TD191-B lacks B28, so coverage or capacity will be patchy. Its coverage bands (B28) carry indoor and rural service; the JACS TD191-B has none of them.

Before you deploy

2G off on all networks (2026)

3G off on all networks (2026)

Long-term roaming is allowed (commercial agreements) (evidence B, checked 25 Oct 2026)
