My daughter left for Aussie last month. She has a Skinny number on a Kogan monthly plan but would like to keep the number active and have access to SMS etc for authentication of NZ accounts should she need it.

 

I've checked the major players for options but their sites only have prepaid plans for $4/$5 month or the usual monthly plans.

 

What am I missing not seeing the old "pay as you go, top up $5 a year" options ?

Here is the One NZ Pay as you Go Prepay plan.

I recently changed to Prepay so had done this research.

Spark and one you can just remove the packs and use casual rates, but I dont know how that works with roaming. I just have calandar entries to remind me to top up the numbers I want/need to keep because of legacy businesses who refuse to allow customers to not have phone numbers.
