SIM cards for New Zealand Visitors [duplicate]

This question is a semi-duplicate of SIM card in New Zealand with unlimited internet access, but that was 7 years ago and I would expect the cellular details have changed in that length of time.

For a two-week visit starting July of next year (2020), what are my options as far as getting a SIM for use in NZ? I have a GSM multiband phone that should work fine on the NZ networks. I'll want data more than voice, but both will be factors. Thanks.

EDIT: I reside in the United States, and this is a USA-standard phone, but it's quad-band and should work with the local nets.

Can you have two copies of a SIM card?

Yes, it is possible, although not recommended, because there is no guarantee that the two mobiles will work properly with a cloned SIM. They may not be able to register both on the network, randomly receive calls, and the mobile data service may not work.

Can I get another SIM with same number?

You can get a new SIM card and keep the same number. Your telephone number is associated with a replaceable Subscriber Identification Module. Mobile service providers use SIM chips to identify you on their network. Several situations warrant issuing a new SIM card for your phone.

What happens if you copy a SIM card?

If someone has cloned another person's SIM card, not only do they have the ability to receive their incoming texts and calls, but they can also send outgoing texts and calls using their number. This means they could impersonate them to gain access to important accounts, or even scam the victim's contacts.

How can I get the same SIM number?

But friends if you loose your SIM and want to get the same number, there is no such procedure. Only you have to visit service provider office along with your Adhaar card. With Adhaar card only ,your service provider will issue you a SIM with same number. This is as simple.
