| 807600 | 2009-09-07 07:51:00 | What have your experience been? I understand they have their own towers in the main cities, outside they roam on Vodafone . In Wellington has been fine . I have noticed in Whakapapa at one time the reception cut out saying "no network signal" and by retrying it worked . When I was in Turangi, 85% of the time I didn't have a signal, but then again Turangi BP was more than happy to sell me a Magic Top Up . 15% of the time I had 1 or 2 bars (out of 7), while everytime I put the Vodafone simcard in, I got 7 out of 7 bars for reception . That meant no reception in the city centre, in the accom . Cheers . |

| 807602 | 2009-09-07 08:46:00 | The coverage I get is the same as I get with vodafone (full bars) :). | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 807603 | 2009-09-07 08:49:00 | I’ve just covered mega miles in Queensland and NZ and no problem . You just wind up on Telstra in Queensland and Vodafone in NZ . Everything is sweet BUT watch the calling into NZ from overseas . They sock it to you when you change networks and it’s very hard to get a handle on what’s going on because there are minute rates, connection charges and every other concealed cost the other networks can find . In summery, in NZ and calling out, no problem, as stated . Outside NZ calling in, be very, very alert . |

| 807604 | 2009-09-07 09:50:00 | Well, didn't get a lot of help with their customer service. Was just told that they have the same info as I do when I surf the net. They don't have networks in the centre of N Island but they still say they have 90% coverage of where people live. How is that possible? They did say use the phone to download the settings but not sure if that would help voice call reception. |

| 807605 | 2009-09-07 10:21:00 | they still say they have 90% coverage How is that possible? 90% of the population - not the land area. Thats all the main cities. Anywhere else its crap. |

The feeling I got from the CSR was that 2degrees does not have towers in the centre North Island but she said they are installing more . If you delete the centre North Island and all other small provincial places like that would you still have 90% of where people work and live? Looks like I now will be carrying two phones with me when I travel . |
