Slingshot offer NZ's best ever mobile plan?
Vodafone are offering to pay your early termination charges if you cancel your XT contract and are stuck with a bill for terminating this contract early. They will give you a free Nokia 6121 handset when you sign up with them.
Slingshot have also in on the act. Slingshot are MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) who piggyback on Vodafone's network. They are offering what is quite possibly NZ's best ever mobile deal.
A free Nokia 2730 handset
Free monthly access for 12 months (normally $20)
20 free calling minutes and 100 free TXT messages every month
25c calling to mobiles and landlines
12 month minimum contract
Slingshot also have a form letter quoting the CGA that you can send to Telecom explaining you would like to break your term contract and pay no fee.
If you're an XT user who is unhappy you certainly have plenty of options open to you if you do want to leave!

They Don't have a automated way to check Account Bal, I was going to move to them till I found they only way to check was to call them.
So will stick with Voda (on account)

Wow, how can Slingshot offer that?
Someone could sign up and get the free phone, then just use 20 mins and the 100 txt per month and not have to pay a cent the entire year....then leave whenever they want after.
