ajw: Sorry doesn't do it for me. For $16 a month with Skinny I get 160 anytime minutes, 400 texts and 40mb of data and a whole pile of Skinny to Skinny on-net calling. Well, it is called the Data Combo, not the Voice Combo. iPad + iPhone 4S + 2degrees 3G data 4tw! These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.

But I would have to change my phone. ANd I don't think 40MB would be enough Offense can never be given, only taken ...

I must admit though, it does make the monthly plans look a bit weak by comparison...

Chat Combo Pack $19 60 any-net voice minutes; and 200 texts to any NZ network.

Sure enough, more minutes are needed, but don't bother adding the free 10,000 Skinny to Skinny minutes, those are limited time offers, which will be removed by the end of April.

There is a question with this. According to what they are saying on this link. 60 Skinny to Skinny per week after April 2012 but to be confirmed. http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=137&topicid=96126

The extra minutes can be unless, not to mention it is in a to be confirmed state. Anyway, we are discussing 2degrees new combo, the point is there is not enough minutes.

Slightly off topic as you say. Yes I agree considering 2 degrees were lobbying the Commerce Commission to regulate mobile termination rates with the inference of lower pricing.

I must admit though, it does make the monthly plans look a bit weak by comparison... If you look the monthly plans $39 and above now have 1GB monthly bonus data for a year. That's good but it just leaves the $29 plan with 50mb of data and then it jumps up to 1.1gb for the $39 plan. I like the look of the $29 plan but it just doesn't have enough data.
