| 1396342 | 2015-03-14 05:40:00 | Thinking of changing my mobile plan. I'm currently with Spark, but Skinny have a plan that looks like it would suit better than anything Spark are currently offering (I'm looking at the Skinny $16 combo that has roll over minutes and data). My mobile data needs and the number of calls I make each month is never huge, but my usage varies a lot, so the roll over thing would be awesome. The only thing I'm worried about is whether Skinny are a good reliable provider? I've not really heard anything either way. I gather they use the Spark network so coverage should be just as good, it's just whether they provide a good and reliable service, and are helpful if there are problems that I'd like to know more about. Anyone have any good or not-so-good experiences with Skinny? Thanks, as always! :) |

| 1396344 | 2015-03-14 12:45:00 | I switched from 2degrees to Skinny and am on the $16 pack. Definitely better, the spark network also has far better coverage than 2degrees. | sahilcc7 (15483) | ||

| 1396348 | 2015-03-14 21:31:00 | No problems with the service. Helpdesk was even helpful when I needed them. Only issue is minor. Apple app for skinny does not work to enable me to top up - it crashes when I try. Have to do this using a browser. |

| 1396349 | 2015-03-15 03:33:00 | We have all changed to Skinny from 2Deg and Vodafone. Very reliable and good coverage (spark network). I have the $16 combo, rollover NZ/Aus minutes & Data. Free calls to any other Skinny. Skinny is compatible with any Telecom/Spark phone. As for Top Ups, I use Auto top up. I found that the 2Deg signal was weak on the North Shore, and the equivalent Combo is $19 pm. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1396351 | 2015-03-15 06:47:00 | Thanks for all the feedback guys. :) Sounds like those who are with Skinny or know those who are have had good experiences, so I think I will go for it and change to them, and pay for Spotify premium separately. I'm not going to be wasting money on what I don't use anymore, or having to add stupid extras on months I'm away from home more than usual. If my data/minutes needs increase and become more consistent then the $29 prepay plan with Spotify premium on Spark will become the best plan for me. I looked into 2Degrees but Skinny can top their best deal (in terms of what suits me, that is), and I appreciate the better coverage on the Spark network. pctek - thanks for the link. Interesting - I knew that Skinny had something to do with Spark but I thought it was just that they used the same network. Learn something everyday! Cheers guys. :) |
