| 1487587 | 2022-07-27 02:24:00 | hi Any advice re a plan for elderly user. Maybe a few texts per month, a few short calls and no data required ( wifi in house). Currently on a $20 prepaid ( Spark) which offers way more than is necessary. I see a 2degrees $10 plan. Any comments on this ? thanks |

| 1487588 | 2022-07-27 02:40:00 | I have been on 2degrees $10 plan for a long time now and suits me very well 100 Carryover Mins to NZ & Aussie, Unlimited* Texts to NZ & Aussie and 250mg of carryover data. What more could an elderly user want :thumbs: |

| 1487593 | 2022-07-27 19:53:00 | I have my phone on prepaid with Vodaphone. It is a very basic phone. I can only do texts and calls and I only pay for texts and calls so if I do not use my phone it does not cost me anything. I am in my 70s and have no need for piles of data. Any time I need to download anything I use my laptop. I don't use my phone a lot so it costs me very little. If like me, that is all you need to do, then I would recommend prepaid. | Roscoe (6288) | ||
| 1487594 | 2022-07-27 21:29:00 | I had to have one according to my daughter a few years ago . For emergencies when I am out walking . Been a good thing a few times ! I only have a Skinny $9 plan and SWMBO has the same . We are going to get rid of our landline later this year so will up her plan as she waffles on a bit on the phone! So saying, I use my phone a lot . I am the sort of bloke who needs to know things so what could be better than a pocket information centre . Music, which I love is ripped from my CD's and put on my phone . It means I always have a camera on me for my other love of my life, photography! Just bought myself a Samsung S22 this week and I marvel at the improvement on my 6 yr old Sony that it is replacing . I have always had the thought that phones were useless for photography but this one is pretty darned good . Don't have to carry my DSLR around unless I have a specific reason . Can also photograph using RAW and has an editor for handling that . 4K video, another good point . Just my thoughts :) Ken |

Voice - Unlimited mins to Spark Mobiles and NZ Landlines + 100 mins to other networks. Thanks for that. It is just what my parents need. I was unaware of that plan. Edit: Just scrolled to the top of that page and it says plans are no longer available. Damn shame. |
