Things to know about this plan
Does this mean I’ll always have data?
Yes! Endless data means you’ll always have a connection to use maps, check your emails and get a trip home.
What’s Endless at reduced speeds like?
Perfect for making sure you can always connect. You can even watch movies and surf social media (just at lower quality). Running multiple apps and loading large files will be tricky. At reduced speeds your experience will be impacted.
Can I use my Unlimited Calls & Texts to contact Aussie networks?
Sure can! You can talk the ears off anyone with a standard number in NZ and Aussie.
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 max speed 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 still get the Free Data Hour if I have used up my plan’s max speed data?
Yes! The show must go on, right up to your Data Clock monthly limit.
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. At reduced speeds your experience will be impacted.
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.
