The sooner the better, I note that 2 degrees didn't muck around.

I remember the Vodems that Vodafone sold back in 2006 - they released a plan of 1GB for something like $50 a month. Then-Telecom followed suit a couple of days later doing the same for their Aircards.

Today it seems like Vodafone is the follower, not the leader (like they used to be).

Also keep in mind the Team Up discounts:

I have my Mother's cell on the same account and she has a basic personal plan but this brings my $92 plan down to $73.60.

On top of that having a plan means eligibility to get interest free deals on handsets. I bought both my current one (S24) on special for $999 and my previous one (S21) - which is now my Mother's - for $799.

If you know how to play the game plans can work out cost effective.

I received the press release today, so posting here for the record:

Press release:

Spark has launched new ‘big data’ mobile plans, offering data inclusions that improve the ‘data for dollars’ ratio in Aotearoa.

SME and Consumer Director, Greg Clark, says recent figures show average monthly mobile data usage grew by almost 30% in the year to June 20231, and the telco’s research shows that data for dollars is valued above everything else.

The new plans offer customers the max speed data they need to enjoy their favourite music, videos, or games on the go, without compromising on speed or streaming quality.

The line-up includes:

$90 Unlimited with unlimited max speed data, including Spotify Premium (usually $18.99 /month), Apple One Number Wearable Plan (usually $7 /month), international call and SMS allowances, unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, unlimited hotspot, Spark Voicemail app, and the option to add up to 4 companion plans for just $45/month each
$75 Endless with 150GB max speed data2, including a $7 saving on Spotify Premium, unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, endless hotspot, Spark Voicemail App, and the option to add up to 4 companion plans for just $40/month each
$65 Endless with 75GB max speed data2, including unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, endless hotspot, and Spark Voicemail App
$45 Endless with 5GB max speed data2, including unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, endless hotspot, and Spark Voicemail App
“We’re leveraging the significant investment we make into our network every year to take the worry out of the data equation and make sure our customers have the full-speed data they need to make the most of the digital world,” says Clark.

“And our re-introduced ‘Companion Plans’ allow friends and family on the same account to pick up the same data inclusions at a massively discounted rate, often with the same great benefits included too. For a household of five on our $90 Unlimited Plan, they’ll save a whopping $180 per month, as well as additional savings on Spotify and our Apple One Number Wearable Plan.

“We’re excited to give our customers the freedom to take full advantage of New Zealand’s most reliable mobile network, with the widest coverage experience3.”

If you have spotify premium, the $75 plan really doesn't make much sense, $ 90 less $19 - $71 per month vs $ 75 - 7 $ 68 per month. Some of the other inclusions may or may not add value (apple one number and international countries) but for a net $3 difference, is a pretty good looking offering. Its a pity they can't do a discounted spotify family subscription

What is the Spark Voicemail app? Sorry I am not on Spark but considering them so not sure what this app does other than receiving voicemail messages?

Buying a Tesla? Use my Tesla referral link and we both get discounts and credits.

It's kinda like the Visual Voicemail/etc from Apple. Provides transcriptions (mostly accurate) and no menus, just everything in a nice list - https://www.spark.co.nz/shop/mobile-plans/visual-voicemail.html

Had a conversation with someone this afternoon - they're not making any changes to their plans (I guess at this stage).

I know of a few people who will be jumping ship soon if they don't do something.

I will probably move from OneNZ to Spark if they don't bump their $65 plan to at least 30Gb in the next couple of weeks.

The $75 plan you’re adding $12 for Spotify (saving $7), making the plan essentially $87 month. So, if you have an Apple Watch, then the $90 plan works better as you’re saving your $7/month watch sub. The $75 plan is only really there for the ability to add users. $65 plan is has plenty of data - but then bigger all off your Spotify.

I’ll probably move to spark in a month or two if OneNZ don’t do something.
Im on the $85 One Plan, and have One Number (total spend $90/month) and have a Spotify plan I pay for separately. So it’d be an instant saving of $18.99/month.

My partner is on Spark already, would probably look to run us on a group to save even more.
