New Zealand By Email And Internet

High-speed Internet access in New Zealand is available widely. Internet cafes and free terminals are listed in the Practical Information section of cities.

Increasingly, travelers find that taking their laptop computers on the road with them can be a convenient option for staying connected. Laptop users can call an Internet service provider via a modem using long-distance phone cards specifically intended for such calls. They may also find Internet cafes that allow them to connect their laptops to the Internet. And most excitingly, travelers with wireless-enabled computers may be able to take advantage of an increasing number of Internet “hot spots,” where they can get online for free or for a small fee. Newer computers can detect these hot spots automatically; otherwise, check out websites like www.jiwire.com. For information on insuring your laptop while traveling, see Possessions and Valuables.
