I am hoping someone with a OneNZ inside contact or knowledge of the right department can help a little.

 

 

 

Background - Both Mum and I are with One NZ. She has on her account Fibre/Landline, and her mobile I pay on my account. I went to the Hornby One store in Chch (who are amazing) but can't help, and said I needed to call 777. Mum is in Hospital, and we are clearing out/selling her house as she will either move to a Rest Home or a different support level than her current home has.  The local store said I needed to get her Fibre on a 3-month hold and a divert for the landline to mobile. 

 

 

 

Easy, yeah, nah. 777 were horrid to deal with, and despite my having a Certified EPA I can send-in would not do anything to help. After pushing they said someone would call in 24 hours - that was 3 days ago. I have looked for something on the website to use but can't find anything that looks right. 

 

Is 777 my only option to sort?

@Quinny You can't put Fibre on hold as the retailer still needs to pay the wholesaler for the Fibre line per month

Hi

 

 

 

Per JR we can't suspend the fixed services. We'd have to disconnect it as we'd owe the LFC.

 

 

 

In saying that you'd likely wouldn't want that if she heavily uses the landline and has relied on it.

 

 

 

Hmmm.

 

 

 

Flick me everything including your own details to Maxine.nesbitt@one.nz and I'll see if we can at least get an idea of where to go to from here.

My read is @Quinny's mum is probably on a term contract for fibre and wants to pause this for a few months until place of residence going forward is known - disconnecting the existing fibre but not yet connecting at a new address like you would with a simple address move.

 

Complicating is not losing access to the landline.

Would it suitable to move the fibre plan to to a 4G wireless home phone pre pay plan?

Phone would still work. You just need to figure out that it might be better to pause (or downgrade the plan on the mobile phone (assume its pre pay) as im also assuming she doesnt really use the mobile.

Legacy product I'm afraid.

Many thanks all for suggestions :)

 

I will pm Max today the details. It is less about saving broadband fees and more about getting the EPA added and landline diverted. With luck I can get the broadband up in her new place later in Feb.
