I usually go Vodafone in NZ for my voice prepaid SIM for my smartphone. But no matter what - data is expensive over there relatively speaking. Spark is also good for coverage as well. I'd avoid 2degrees as their coverage is not as good as Vodafone and Spark in rural areas. Locals will have opinions as well. I think whitebait season starts soon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using my normal Telstra number and their international day pass: $5 a day unlimited calls/text (local and international) 200mb a day. $10 for each 500mb after that. 500mb rolls over, the daily 200mb doesn't. May get a Voda prepay, 4gb, $38 5 hours ago, hawlass said: Were turning on nice weather for ya too Rab , if you like 1*c and snow...

Pub was weird - half the blokes were staring at one end of the room where the rugby was on the screen. Other half were staring at the other end of the room where the rugby was on another screen. Girls were intermingled, but not interferring with the staring at all. I suggested that Pomph ask the bartender to switch one of the screens to show the AFL elim finals, but he thought better of it :( Drove for a whole 10 mins today. Looking forward to tomorrow.
