| 1344421 | 2013-06-01 05:43:00 | Hey i used to be on vodafone but then switched to 2 degrees , due to to me there texts are cheap and calls but after i switched i begin to have problems , like calls and text not incoming or slow network process and find it a bit hard to use , when i think back vodafone is simple and help and support i know are good in my opinion .Why i did switch is because one of my family members told me , its cheaper than vodafone but i still love vodafone . Here is what 2 degrees is still good at - good value packs , plans are good too , what they are not good at is customers service , i used this a few times poor i should say than any other nz mobile network. So i would love to know which you prefer is a good nz mobile network , i have created a poll too , so tick which one you like and comment on what you think of 2 degress network , do you like it , or dislike it , whats good about your own mobile provider and bad . Thanks |

| 1344422 | 2013-06-01 07:58:00 | I haven't checked lately but I think 2D have the value packs if you are in their regions, when you are not roaming via Vodafone, their postpaid packs might be good value too but their data speed is not that fast. I don't use value packs b/c it cost a decent penny at the end of the day regardless of which telco so I just use mainly WiFi I do use 3G data when I need GPS on the odd occasion thou. 2D came out with good prices right but if you are a light user their rates isn't that much cheaper now, the others have responded from 79c to now 49c calling, 44c per min and 9c per text. Vodafone is 49c and 12c. Vodafone's data is cheaper, 2D is like 50c per MB - in NZ, also when roaming overseas on the odd occasion 2D is the most expensive at $30/MB. Thou 2D do have half price for the first 30 days when you do a min $30 top up but if you are doing that you should be on postpaid anyway :D Sooo not that relevant to many prepaid customers. If you are a post paid customer XT have all you can use capped prices for a selected few countries and Vodafone have data angel that gives you like 200-300MB for like twenty bucks, which is quite good versus the std roaming rates. |

| 1344423 | 2013-06-01 08:31:00 | After leaving vodafone for 2D I wouldn't move back, I avoid telescum at all costs. Since 2D have now introduced carryover minutes on prepay they offer so much more value for money than the so called competition. Sure their coverage is not quite as good but at least they are not ripping us off like the big two, and their customer service what I have used of it is good | gary67 (56) | ||

I know Skinny uses Telecom's. | Greg (193) | ||

| 1344427 | 2013-06-01 10:32:00 | I moved to 2degrees after buying a phone that didn't support Telecom's network, now I'm glad I moved :) I've found 2degrees customer service to be excellent via Twitter at least. i believe 2degree have their own in the main centres, piggyback off Vodafone else where Yep :) |

| 1344428 | 2013-06-01 11:11:00 | To buck the trend, I have been with Telecom with a couple of short-lived excursions to the other two, since the very first cellphones. I stay with them because they are the only carrier that provides coverage where I live but have to admit there are other locations I visit where Vodafone provide superior coverage (proximity of towers.) Telecom's phone help is admittedly as bad as ever but I have always found their in-store staff more than helpful and prepared to go the extra mile to assist. I have a post-paid plan that admittedly is more expensive per minute calling but unless I make calls (which I do very rarely) I pay nothing — no monthly charge (pay only for calls or texts made) so for me it is the cheapest of all possible options. However, I don't use data and rarely send texts so my experience may well not represent typical usage. | Blue Druid (4480) | ||
| 1344429 | 2013-06-01 13:51:00 | Yeah definitely XT. Around Auckland, at least everywhere west, north and south, coverage is *ass*... So many total dead spots. They have worse coverage than Vodafone around main centers but only fall back to Vodafone on certain places. Their 3G speeds are absolutely abysmal, although oddly enough their latency is better than the other two. XT on the other hand, in my experience travelling around a lot with mates playing Ingress, consistently around Auckland provides better coverage and speeds. They may not have the cheapest deals but you most definitely get what you pay for. I'd switch back to XT in a heartbeat if I hadn't transferred my number to work with 2 Degrees, so for the time being I'm stuck on their crappy ass network. I absolutely hate it to the point where I'm debating getting a Nexus 7 with 3G just so I have some semi-decent coverage. |

Was offered that, turned down. | plod (107) | ||
