| 1177752 | 2011-02-13 10:11:00 | The least expensive to buy or the least expensive to use? I take it that ithe sim card has to fit in a particular cellphone and it would help if the gurus had more info. Don't think a sim card can be used without other hardware. |

| 1177753 | 2011-02-13 10:21:00 | Thats easy to answer! 2degrees they have the cheapest prepay rates and a $20 simcard that comes loaded with $20. You can also pick up a 2degrees cellphone for $50, watch out for their promotion phones they come loaded with as much calltime credit as they cost. Picked up a $150 phone from Warehouse Stationary and got $150 worth credit. Basically Free Phone and Sim Card. |

| 1177756 | 2011-02-13 10:27:00 | 2 Degrees is the cheapest - both calls/text and internet . He is taking a phone here with him? If he is going to visit outside the 4 (?) main centres, and plans to use internet on phone or teetherd cheaper with Vodafone or Telecom . Depending on the place he is from, the phone he has might be more suited to Vodafone or Telecom . |

| 1177759 | 2011-02-13 10:50:00 | Maybe roaming costs :D If so that's pathetic, he can afford to fly from the other side of the world but is worried about the cost of a few calls and texts. He would only be using it occasionally in the 2 weeks here and if he wants to contact home there is Cics computer and phone available. |
