It looks like Vodafone have finally moved to catch up with the competition. Their web site is now showing these open term plans:

- 10Gb + 1Gb Bonus, $60

- 22Gb + 1Gb Bonus, $80

Good on them for not doing any of that 'unlimited data' nonsense.

The $60 plan is exactly what I've been waiting for because I really like Vodafone's global roaming package and this price is pretty close to 2degrees.

I see Red Essentials open term is $79.99 with 23GB data (including the 1GB Bonus). What is different with Red+ @ $99 per month? Doesn't seem to offer anything extra for an additional $20 per month, and comes with less data @ 20GB?

Am I missing something?

They are contract not open term plans, clearly they did not want to give away too much

Both are open term plans, Red Essentials open term and Red+ open term.

Do people need to change plans or are those on existing upgraded automatically? I just loaded the VF app but my data allowance is still 3.5GB.

And there's the changes. Now reflected on their website, they no longer offer the open term Red+ $99.99 plan as the open term Red Essentials $79.99 plan offers more data.

I'm on the $99.99 plan currently, so will call to downgrade. Nice to know I'm going to get more data and pay less for it :-)

Oh, and it looks like the 1GB bonus was an error, the new open term plans are 2.5GB, 10GB, and 22GB.

Well these blow spark now. It is a good counter move by vodafone. Not as cheap as 2degrees but vodafone does have better roaming etc.

Cant beat Vodafones $5 daily roaming.

With Vodafone Red Share, adding up to 4 family members @ 19.99 per member per month is quite a bit cheaper than the $25 per member that 2degrees charge.

It does seem that each telco has just a little 1 or 2 things different to each other

2degrees = more data on top plan + roll over data (no limit)

Vodafone = roaming

Spark = extras (spotify etc).

If i traveled more i would be going with vodafone.

Hmmm,

Tablet share is free if added up till until 30 sept as well

But there will be a pricing increase on PXTs on 1st Nov (in "Important stuff to know" link)

PXTs To mobiles NZ the rest of the world: 49c per PXT (Effective from 1st Nov 2017)

So based on my current plan I can get an extra 4GB and not lose anything or cost anything more - but as mine is a grandfathered plan, might be a good time to change :)
