Just noticed 100 GB NZ data for 7 days on Skinny.

I wasn’t effected by the cyclone, thank you for data though.

Could not see any mention on Skinny’s web site, but from Reddit looks like all Spark and Skinny prepay got it.

Shows on Skinny Application, so guess same for Spark.

Looks like post paid are getting uncapped max speed data but need to confirm.

Ah, I wondered why I had a free 99gb.

Did not know about this at all.

No app notification, no email, no text. Nothing.

Thanks for the info @rugrat.

it's on the front page of the skinny website

Mobile customers have an extra 100GB automatically loaded on their account which can also be shared with other devices through hot spotting. We have also provided all mobile customers with unlimited calling and text.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Seems on skinny it shows in the app as data but according to spark in Facebook it has been applied but doesn't show in the app. In theory all prepaid customers should have 100gb but no way to see it, if you're using it your data just won't go down until it's exhausted.

That's great, but requires you to make the visit to their page in the first place.

I would wager, that unless skinny sends out a text or email about it, a decent chunk of their customers will never even notice this.

Alternatively a large chunk of their customers just use their device until it runs out of credit - often the case with budge providers. They will simply be thankful they can still communicate this week.
