PaulBrislen: Meanwhile, Free in France is offering unlimited voice and TXT and a 3GB/month package for EU20.
Interesting times, eh?

so what?
shk292: I know NZ prices aren't the best, but the new packages introduced by all three networks are good value, and it's hard to see why you'd need much more than 500MB per month on a phone. Although UK etc have cheaper prices, they have tethering restrictions, VOIP and messaging app restrictions, and network-locked phones. On balance, I think we have a reasonable deal here now.
And we have 2 degrees to thank for that
All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

Did you not understand what I wrote?
Given enough demand, you can have all the things listed in the original post at a realistic price. It's happening elsewhere in the world and I'd hope it could come to NZ as well. Voice and TXT should be unlimited - I'll just buy data, thanks.
That's what.

France has 62m population with roughly 67 million mobile subscribers. That is well over ten times the size of the NZ market.
France has a population density of 117 people per square km, Nz has a population density of 16 people per square km.
So not only is the market itself way bigger, but the populaiton is vastly more concentrated meaning it is vastly cheaper to serve them with a mobile network (and a fixed network for that matter)
In other words, it's totally irrelevant what offers are available in France, (or Germany, or the UK, or pretty much any other country that doesn;t at leats bear passing similarity to NZ) since there are so many differences between the countries that comparisons are utterlymeaningless.
there is an old phrase used when someone makes a point totally irrelevant to the discussion that goes
"what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?"
maybe we should change that phrase to
"What does that have to do with the price of mobile services in France?"
