Am I correct in thinking that to 2Degrees utilises some of the Vodafone towers for better coverage across the country? I'm looking at getting a secondary SIM card for my phone, currently on 2D, so there would be no point getting a Vodafone SIM in that case leaning towards spark?

2degrees and VodafoneNZ deployed MoRAN so you are still on the 2degrees network

Ahh I c. I vaguely remember seeing my phone would indicate 'roaming' a while ago when presumably outside of their network, although I haven't seen it do that recently, so presuming it just connects to the respective to tower

Linux: Roaming is now in very very few locations

It's turned off altogether now - all LACs are excluded.
