Things to know about this plan
How do I get the Free Data Hour?
Download the Data Clock app to get your Free Data Hour (on eligible plans). Then, select and activate the free data hour everyday you want to use it.
Does this use up my plan’s Carryover Data?
No! That wouldn’t be very fair, would it. Think of it like pressing pause on your plan’s data for an hour.
Can I use as much as I want?
Oh yeah! It’s a free-for-all. Though if you use over 40GB per month (which is seriously heaps) your speed will change to 1mbps^.
How does Carryover work?
Keep data you don’t use for up to a year. Better yet, there’s no limit to how much you can carry over. You can also stack up your gigs because our new plans use your monthly plan data before using your Carryover data each month.
Can I dish out Carryover data to friends and family?
Yes! Share it with the data guzzling kids or mates who need to book a ride home if they have a 2degrees Carryover Plan.
Are Unlimited Texts only to other 2degrees mobile numbers?
You can Text any NZ or Aussie network until your thumbs fall off.
Who pays the bill on a shared account?
The person who sets up the account will be responsible for paying the full bill. It’s the same as putting your name on the lease of a shared flat.
Can I split the bill?
You cannot. Unlike your favourite buffet, you’ll need to sort the bill out amongst yourselves.
