| 791059 | 2009-07-11 22:08:00 | I did some thinking . I don't use a lot of txt or internet on the phone . Some say the Voda is better for text or the older Telecom, internet may be cheaper on Voda with that 2x deal . For prepay and probably likely for plans, that they are the same or very similar . Ie . , the prepaid 89c to phones and 20c for text . Does it matter which provider you went with? You may have the same phone you want . In NZ the same prices . Overseas roaming is $$$ so you could pick up a simcard there anyway . Given you have tri and quad bands it is well covered . With phone number portability, you don't necessarily know if a person has a 021 is a Voda customer or vice versa . Old customers like me still have the Vodafone Motormouth so I still have 49c to landlines and Vodafone and $1 . 39 to Telecom handsets . |

| 791060 | 2009-07-12 00:14:00 | It *does* matter to a certain degree, some plans are better than others for SMS messages to the same network, whereas others have better plans for SMS messages across all networks, varying call-rates ... But if you're asking about whacking an XT SIM in an iPhone or a Vodafone SIM in a Telecom-bought Nokia e75, then that's generally not a problem (to a certain degree depending on phone models)... |

| 791061 | 2009-07-12 02:24:00 | Does it matter which provider you went with? It does down here . With Telecom coverage is bad . With Vodafone it's virtually non-existent . |

| 791063 | 2009-07-12 03:09:00 | Telecom or Vodafone? If you exceed your cap on Telecom, it's $1 per MB on the casual plan and 50c/MB for every other plan. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 791064 | 2009-07-12 03:14:00 | 2Degrees starts up next month so why not wait until then and have another look.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 791065 | 2009-07-12 03:24:00 | And they give you a free sim card with $5.00 credit.;) | Peter H (220) | ||
| 791066 | 2009-07-12 03:45:00 | I had a look, what the catch? Does it delete your current provider and transfer you over to 2degrees? Or they just give you a new simcard, new phone number? Possible to keep the same phone number as now? Does anyone know what freq they run on and if they support 3G BB? |

| 791067 | 2009-07-12 04:47:00 | Never mind they run on 900/1800 GSM and then 2100 for 3G. This free simcard it is a free simcard from a new number eh ... it doesn't affect your current one? |
