Does the 2degrees App use or charge data when I use it?

No, the 2degrees App is free if you're accessing it using your 2degrees SIM card and you're in New Zealand. However, if you're connected via your home WiFi, the App will use broadband allowance just like any other site that you browse on your phone.

Does the 2degrees App work on tablets?

Yes, the App will work on iPads or Android tablets. However, as it's been designed for phones, the resolution on larger screens may not be as sharp. iPads will require iOS8 or above and Android devices will need to be using version 4.1 or above.

Can I manage my 2degrees Broadband account within the 2degrees App?

Yes, if you have a broadband account with us as well as a 2degrees Prepay or Pay Monthly Plan you can manage your broadband account in the 2degrees App, if you don't have a mobile account with us, the best way to manage your broadband plan is by logging into Your 2degrees.

To log into your broadband account within the mobile app, you need to log in first via your mobile account.

Once logged in, you'll see Broadband as a menu item on the home screen. You'll need to log in to the Broadband section in order to access your dashboard.

From the Broadband menu, you can find the following features:

  • Summary of broadband account including data usage, broadband plan and billing details
  • Extras or Add-ons including Prime, home phone landline or modem
  • Your payment history and how to make a payment
  • Your profile details

I manage multiple 2degrees numbers, do I need separate App logins for each account?

No, you only need the one easy login to manage multiple 2degrees phone numbers. Log in to the App using the email address and password you use for Your 2degrees, then select which account and connection you wish to manage. You can switch between connections using the Menu button.

How do I change my PIN on my 2degrees App?

You can change your 4-digit PIN within the 2degrees app, in Your 2degrees or by calling 200 from your 2degrees mobile.

To make your PIN hard to guess, you can't use sequential numbers (1234) or easy to guess patterns like 2480 or 5555. We also recommend not using your date of birth.

Why can't I reset my password when using a tablet?

To reset your Your 2degrees password, you're sent a temporary password via text. Tablets cannot receive texts, so you'll need to pop your SIM from your tablet into a mobile phone, or call us on 200 and we'll help you out.

Why can't I see sharing calls and texts in the 2degrees App?

We've made sharing super easy to use in the 2degrees app, so if you can't see it, there could be a few reasons why.

  • You're not on an eligible Pay Monthly Plan. To share your calls and texts with someone you'll need to have Unlimited* Calls and Texts to New Zealand and Aussie as part of your Pay Monthly Plan.
  • You're on Prepay. Unfortunately, you can't share your calls and texts on Prepay, so you won't see the option in the App. You'll need to be on an eligible Pay Monthly Plan.
  • You haven't got the latest version of our app installed. Visit the App Store or Google Play store to update to the latest version.
