2degrees - New Zealand
Getting a SIM card
I had some time land side in AKL, and was able to get a 2degrees SIM card from Whitcoulls (a newsagents) upstairs near the international departures area. There is a small branch just outside international arrivals, but they were out of stock, and sent me upstairs.
I paid NZ$5 for the SIM card with NZ$1 credit, and also got a NZ$20 topup voucher. I was able to pay with a credit card. A total of NZ$25 (€14). The minimum top-up is apparently NZ$20.
Getting topped-up
You can get top-up vouchers at most newsagents, petrol stations and supermarkets.
Enabling data
I activated the SIM card in my phone by dialling
200 and went through the voice prompts. Then I topped up the phone with the NZ$20 voucher.
Data is sold by 2degrees in 50MB bundles for NZ$6 (some €3.30) - they call it a
data-pack. You send a text
BUY 50MB to 233, and it's valid until you use up the 50MB.
