$8 Daily Roaming

  1. If you’re using your Mobile Phone in selected overseas destinations as set out on our website as $8 Daily Roaming Destinations, you will carry on using your base Plan specific allocations of Minutes, Texts and/or Data as though you are in NZ, for $8 per day (“$8 Daily Roaming Rate”),

collectively (“Daily Rate” and “Daily Rate Destinations”).

  1. Only your Plan NZ Minutes, Texts and/or Data allocations are included in the Daily Rate. Add-ons and extra plan inclusions including the International Chat Pack, special rates, promotions and deals are not included in the Daily Rate and will incur additional charges on use overseas.
  2. When you’re in a Daily Rate Destination, you can use your Plan Minutes and Texts to call or Text any standard mobile or landline in NZ, Aussie, and the destination you’re located in (as applicable).
  3. Calls and texts made to any destination other than mobile or landlines in NZ, Aussie, and the destination you’re located in will be charged at the applicable NZ international call or text toll rate as if you had made the call or sent the text from NZ. Current rates are set below.
  4. Roaming in Daily Roaming Destinations will be automatically activated once your phone connects to a network in applicable destinations. For $8 Daily Roaming, the Daily Rate will be triggered and charged when you do any of the following:
    1. make a call (including to voicemail);
    2. receive a call (or don’t answer an incoming call that diverts to your voicemail);
    3. send a text; or
    4. use mobile data (including when your phone uses data when apps are operating in the background etc)
  5. If you don’t want to trigger $8 Daily Roaming while in a $8 a Day Roaming Destination:
    1. Keep your phone switched to flight mode;
    2. Keep mobile roaming turned off on your phone; or
    3. Turn your phone off entirely.
  6. You will be charged the Daily Rate for each day you use your Mobile Phone in a $8 Daily Roaming Destination. A day is counted as 00:00 to 23:59 NZ time (NZ Time Day). Each Daily Roaming Destination and Roaming Add-On product expires at the earlier of reconnecting with our Network in NZ or 23:59 on the applicable day.
  7. If you travel to multiple $8 Daily Roaming Destinations in an NZ Time Day (or to a $8 Daily Roaming Destination and any other overseas destination in an NZ Time Day), you will only be charged the Daily Rate once during the applicable NZ Time Day.
  8. If your plan has a limited allocation of Minutes and Texts and you run out of your Minutes or Texts while you are roaming in a Daily Rate Destination and you continue to make calls and send texts, you will be charged at our standard NZ calling and text rates or applicable international toll rates.
  9. If you run out of your Data allocation under your Plan while you are roaming in a Daily Roaming Destination and you would like to continue using mobile data, you can purchase more in the same way you would if you were in NZ by buying an NZ Data Pack.

General

  1. All roaming charges are in addition to your monthly Plan charges.
  2. All roaming charges incurred will be applied to the Account associated with your connection and will appear on the Account’s bill. 2degrees will endeavour to capture all roaming charges in the subsequent Bill following the roaming activity but this will not always be possible, including where an external network provider is delayed in advising us of roaming activity and where this occurs, charges may appear on a later bill.
  3. Roaming pricing, destinations, and service availability are all subject to change without notice at any time. Please visit our Roaming website to check the latest pricing and destination inclusions that apply to you before you travel.

  7. Applicable Roaming Packs are subject to any maximum call time lengths that our roaming partners may apply to each call made on their network.
  8. Roaming services are only available within the coverage of each of 2degrees’ overseas roaming partner’s networks. We do our best to select roaming partners that provide quality services to you but you acknowledge and agree it is not possible for network providers to provide a fault-free service at all times and we will not be responsible for any issues or service failures relating to the provision of roaming services by third party network providers (including disconnection, lack of coverage or the performance of that provider’s network).
  9. Coverage and services may be adversely affected by radio interference, geographic or atmospheric conditions, outages, maintenance works, over-loading, faults or limitations in your Mobile Phone or the mobile phone or other device of the person with whom you are communicating, faults or other operational difficulties in 2degrees roaming partner’s network or any other mobile telecommunications network to which that network (or 2degrees network) is connected, or other circumstances or factors not wholly in our control. This means you may not receive all of the services in all areas all of the time.
  10. Coverage and services can also change as our roaming partners continue to manage, build, develop and improve their networks.
  11. We reserve the right to make urgent changes to these Terms and Conditions if required by law or for security or technical reasons
