I think the problem is you pay up front (prepay) and when it runs out you buy some more. For the monthly "prepaid" you pay up front a fixed fee monthly (Forever) and you get a better deal. I like the prepay because there are some months when i would make 5 txts, some where i would make maybe 100. the prepaid plan is pretty good though i must admit at $228 per year :waughh:	Gobe1 (6290)

But sometimes discounts are credited, not quite sure what for though. But i think you can get more addon's (e.g. mobile to landline) or are more likely to, or perhaps specials that may crop up. Telecom did have a entry/semi-budget level plan XT one-bill plan, which got pulled for new sign up's, not long before their budget skinny arrived I think.	kahawai chaser (3545)

This plan works out much better than their 40$ post paid plan. This is preposterous. As is their crap with Skinny undermining all pay monthly customers. I am on an 80$ plan - which was great when I got it but now there is no value for money. I always thought that it was supposed to be the other way around. Pre-paid should be economically sound low volume customers, and post paid should be better for high volume and business customers. Bastards.	Cato (6936)
1296188	2012-08-22 22:19:00	maybe b/c Telecom afaik don't carry over the unused credits. whereas real prepaid/prepay does. Show me a NZ prepay plan that carries over minutes??	paulw (1826)
1296189	2012-08-22 22:53:00	I am with Telecom. My landline and cellphone accounts are linked. I use my cellphones mainly for emergencies. I only make a few calls from it each month so my cellphone usually costs me less than $5 per month. These calls are added to my monthly telephone account.	Bobh (5192)
1296190	2012-08-22 23:09:00	Geez thats a pretty good deal bob, so if you dont use your phone does it still cost?? why cant you get a "txt" (a phone that only txts) and it costs 2cents per txt....	Gobe1 (6290)

Same as my wife's one but if you make calls it gets expensive these days @ 57C/ minute. Big problem with Onebill is that if say your going away you can't buy casual minutes like on prepay. She also has a $6 text and data plan as well.. I'm getting temped to put her on prepay these days..	paulw (1826)
1296193	2012-08-23 02:25:00	Show me a NZ prepay plan that carries over minutes?? I meant, the $19 Telecom plan provides you with set minutes/text/data which doesn't get carried over if you don't use it all up. A real prepay/prepaid plan doesn't provide you set items, so if you don't use it up ... you still get the credit the next month to use. Arguably the $19 plan is a post paid, post paid without contract basis 2D offers carries over minutes ...	Nomad (952)
1296194	2012-08-23 02:29:00	9c a txt, not too bad .Prepay can be used for txt only www.2degreesmobile.co.nz My mum's on that. She uses probably $10 for the year :D 2D if the area supports it, 9c text or 39c calling or something like that. All prepay. I also picked up a $75 phone for $5 when a 2D shop had their first day promotion (with a simcard and probably a bit of credit too). It auto enabled for international roaming too.	Nomad (952)
