Telecom is extending its popular $10TXT until March 2010.

With $10TXT Telecom customers can send up to 500 text messages each month to any mobile in New Zealand and pay no more than $10.

“$10TXT has proven to be a big draw-card for New Zealanders. We want to give our customers the guarantee that they can continue to text on the same great deal for the next three years,” says Telecom GM for Consumer Marketing Kevin Bowler.

“Because $10TXT is applicable to texts sent to all mobiles in New Zealand it also means our customers can text all their friends and family in New Zealand – not just their Telecom ones – without worrying about cost.”

All Telecom mobile consumer customers* are eligible for $10TXT no matter what consumer plan they are on.

How $10TXT works

There is no monthly minimum fee or need to sign up. All customers on Telecom prepaid and post paid plans qualify for $10TXT.

Texts are priced at 20c each up to 50 texts per month. The next 450 are free. Texts over 500 in a given month are then charged at 20c each.
