Pricing is not too bad. Wonder how many will be enticed from Voda and XT??

Skinny is a Telecom company

1252141 2012-01-04 20:49:00 I would try it with a free sim but none of my spare phones are compatible nedkelly (9059)
1252142 2012-01-04 21:01:00 It's pretty appealing. 120MB a week on the "data add-on" is sweet, and the other stuff would be good, 10 minutes a week ought to mostly do me. Total for me would be $32 a month... No "Best Mate" or "Favorite" feature from what I can see though? Chilling_Silence (9)
1252143 2012-01-04 23:39:00 It's Just Telecom trying to hide from their reputation.

1252144 2012-01-05 02:27:00 They're not strictly-speaking a Telecom company, they're more like Telstra, who don't have a phone network in NZ and so use another network (I believe Telstra have used both Telecom's and Vodafone's networks over the years).

Skinny are obviously going for the cheap and nasty/amateurish website design though, with highlighted text, bolded bits, inconsistent font sizes and a generally tacky look... Probably relates to their target market.

1252146 2012-01-05 05:55:00 I suspect that site is aimed at the teenybopper audience.. paulw (1826)
1252147 2012-01-05 08:19:00 Signed up for the free sim just because you can top up with $5. Hate having to pay $20 or whatever with 2degrees. icow (15313)
