Ok, so it seems people with ported numbers at this time can't signup for the voucher for lightbox.  Sparks chat does not know anyway to help and will have the accounts team call me later

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Are you on account? There is another number on your invoice.

 

 

 

Yes on account but the voucher system wants both account number and phone number and this is the issue, the drop down for phone number does not include any ported numbers (021, 029 etc)

Was hoping for rollover minutes and data for the $20 Onebill plan that my wife is one.  May port her across to skinny if she keeps going over 100 minutes....

Hmm, I see the increased data allowance on the business plans and the free spotify, but no lightbox. Same $ per month and data allowance per month, just no lightbox. Was hoping I could get it for nix on my employer, ah well. Cant have everything I guess

Good upgrades from Spark, something that is long due and something that makes me feel like a valued customer not just an ATM. Good job guys, Something positive!

I agree. Good job by Spark even if long overdue.

I was luckily in the last month of 24 on 2 phones. Just been in store and put them both on the open term $59.

These deals usually come out just after I've signed a 24 month plan so pretty happy with the timing this time round.

I use Spotify religiously and I'd always pay for premium so I see this as $46 for 5GB data. Lightbox is just a bonus as I'd never pay for that.

I'm very happy with what they have now. 

 

Vodafone will need to drop their prices and increase their data to match now as they don't really have any good "extras".  The only reason i can see going to vodafone now is if you roam a lot in the countries that have the $5 a day deals

I see that the Lightbox CEO has resigned.  

 

Just cost cutting to pay for the new freebies?  Or if you dont have a product to sell anymore have you effectively been restructured out of a job?

Id suggest there is not much CEO'ing to do now. Lightbox is part of Spark HMB, its mature, it probably doesnt need a CEO?

Does it need a head of marketing and sales?  Or a head of programming?  Or can those be performed in HMB too?  For a two year old venture that has "matured" thats a lot of key people to lose.

jjnz1: I really like the $169 plan for 20gb... Comes with free note 7 IED...

 

 

 

You reckon you'll use 20? Wow! I found with a 10 plan I never used Wifi, never gave it a second thought, rarely cracked 5, and never cracked 8. I don't live on the thing but I'm certainly not shy.
