Jumped on this again, thanks Wakrak. Happy with the service after the first year and no ragrets about signing up for a second

 

If you can live with the constraints, paying $13.75 per month to get 15gb data is bananas compared to the deals from the big NZ telcos!

Can't send texts to short codes and not very great customer service

Yeah, that's the short of it; longer form is because it is completely prepaid service, there is no credit to top-up so no using any service that has a TXT charge, and since Kogan is a MVNO using Vodafone/One's network, you also get everything that goes with that: secondhand support, whatever their cell coverage is, and eccentricities like VOLTE is always prioritized over Wifi Calling etc

 

I've never had a reason to deal with support for what it is worth, everything has just worked; including running a Wireguard tunnel back to homebase virtually full-time

Fantastic!  My mother contacted me a couple of days ago about hers being due.  Added another 12 months on for her. Shes happy.

It says it doesn't stack. Does this mean that I will lose a month since my one finishes end of Jan 2023 if I activate it before 31/12?

Thanks! The timing is perfect as my current 50% off discounts expire next month.

We picked up a couple of their e-sim starter packs for our 3 week trip over there... iirc they were AU2.60 each and came with 10 or 15Gb and unlimted calls and texts to any AU number, which suited us fine, and they doubled our data within the first few days of buying them.

 

Wasn't hard to figure out how to add the e-sim (which I did once there) and worked great.  I even managed to cancel the (12mth) contract before the end of the first month (as they said I could) and that was it.

This is a great deal, but unfortunately the (Vodafone) coverage around my area is horrible compared to Spark's. That's the only reason holding me back from jumping ship.

@Mehrts: We've been with Kogan for a few years. I have similarly bad Voda coverage at home, but luckily voice over wifi deals with that; generally don't have a problem in any other part of PN I travel to - which part of town are you in? (IIRC you're also a Palmyite)

@jonathan18 I'm in Palmy (Awapuni), but work out at Ohakea. My workmates that are on Voda/2Deg etc have to hold their phones up to the windows of the hangar office (giant concrete/steel building) in order to do anything via mobile data because the coverage is so poor. It's mildly amusing watching them do this, and I'd hate to have to join them 🤣

Ah, I possibly work for the same org as you, and know what WiFi on many of the camps and bases is like, so it's not like that's always a workable solution!
