Have seen articles from 2024/23 about both having agreements and working on launch of their own satellite services

 

I'm due to replace my phone and looking at a deal with a new carrier, interested to know if anyone has any ideas or educated guesses about when either will be offering satellite coverage.

@jonathanjo From the 2degrees website

 

https://www.2degrees.nz/mobile-plans/satellite

 

We’ve partnered with satellite cellular broadband network provider AST SpaceMobile to bring internet data services* to 2degrees customers via satellite during 2026

 

When it launches will not just be SMS and it will work with all 4G / 5G handsets and not limited handsets
