Wow. This is very much like felix mobile in Aus but half the price. Amazing.

Moved to bargains and deals.

What I don't understand is how a MVNO can offer deals like this, but the actual telcos themselves are charging way more for less.

That lady summed it up ages ago. Confusion.

 

People here seem to love to overpay for connectivity compared to the rest of the world and swallow their lines of "we are remote" and "we don't have the population density" like crazy.

I might give mighty mobile another shot. Threw the last sim out after it stopped working for no reason/warning the second time after they were not able to bill my card and didn't bother advising me or redirecting to a captive portal. It was great for streaming tidal in the car off my hotspot on the spare phone.

Let us know how you get on. 

 

I run 4 accounts with skinny currently, but for the additional $12 a month I could switch and not worry about data usage again!

Good deal if 10mbps fits your needs, which I'd imagine for most people is actually perfectly good enough for a mobile connection.

I've got the full speed mighty mobile Sim in for data at the moment from the $1 a month intro offer and it seems good enough, but I'm not signing up to it permanently mainly because of the issues they and Kogan have with responding to short number automated text messages. Coverage is as good as one NZ and speeds in that plan have been excellent and regularly outperforming my 300mbps fibre when in 5G.

Meh, horses for courses. I pay $72/month for unlimited, unrestricted, data (it’s $55/month when you take off the value of Spotify). I can also pay off, interest free, a new device and at the moment are getting a $33/month credit for my iPhone.
