Which New Zealand carriers we run
New Zealand Chime activations come from a mix of tier-1 mobile networks and the MVNOs that diaspora communities lean on for cheap international rates. The pool rotates with stock — right now you're likely to get a SIM from One NZ (Vodafone NZ), Spark NZ or one of the MVNO brands that ride those same networks: 2degrees, Skinny Mobile, Warehouse Mobile. All real mobile-network SIMs, not VoIP. Chime's anti-VoIP detection (the same check that rejects Google Voice and Twilio numbers) sees these as regular New Zealand mobile lines because that's what they are.
