NZ's cheapest mobile plan: $4 for 28 days (14c/day) Warehouse Mobile 500MB data pack

[godisbigger]

For light use of Spotify/Maps/Messenger etc. anywhere, without breaking the bank: Warehouse Mobile's $4 500MB 28 day data pack is probably NZ's cheapest way to stay connected to the internet while you're out and about.

Pros:

• Rollover data up to 365 days
• Free call/texts between Warehouse Mobile numbers (028) (need minimum of 1c credit)
• 2 degrees network coverage (4g/3g)
• Prepay = no overbilling
• SIM cards available at Warehouse stores preloaded with $5 credit
• Free voicemail
• Free number transfer

Cons:

• Minimum top-up: $5
• Sending texts/calling costs 16c each/min
• 28 day cycle = 13 billing months/year (sneaky)

@godisbigger We've been with them since they started more or less. Until our local cell tower got upgraded enough to do mobile broadband, our phones were our only data source at home, but the free comms to other WM numbers was the clincher, with the whole family on it. Other providers force you to buy talk minutes you don't need in order to get reasonable data.

• you missed out:
• free bonus data (250M) every third pack or combo
• bulk rate of $6/GB (5GB pack)
• they did unlimited data 5pm - midnight over summer - there's usually a summer bonus
