Telecom makes free landline and telecom mobile calls indefinite in the $19 plan

Vodafone has stopped their 2 degrees double data and minutes matching

2 Degrees have stopped their double data and minutes promo

Skinny have discontinues their double data on the $16 pack

I guess with people going to telecom my data speed is going to deteriorate!

I don't think Telecom's deal is still on, here is the T&C

May be they have not updated their web pages yet.

guess what - if you scroll down a bit more from the screen you posted it says there was double data on the $29 1.5gb data extra! 3gb for 30 bucks i wonder how many people who holidayed to their baches knew about this!

Hmm interesting. I just topped up and got 60mb but didn't get the free calling (possibly because I have a pack expiring on the 3rd of February). Will add data after that date and see if I get the free calling back :)

60Mb free with topup of $10 or more at the moment. Think it expires late February.

is that a typo? did they mean to add an extra zero to that?

since when is 60MB 'BIG'

that's like a grain of sand compared to the rest of the beach.

*Insert big spe*dtest result here*

Yes.

And to those complaining that it's "small" you've got to think that if you topup 2 lots of $10 separately you can get 100mins, 620mb and unlimited texts. Maybe? Not sure if that is a loophole for free data ;)
