If I go for the $60 15GB plan, then add another person for $30. Does that second person get their own 15GB allowance? Or do we both share the 15GB from the original plan (so 7.5GB each, if split evenly)?

I don't see an explanation on the 2D website.

I am sure you both get 15GB but best @SaltyNZ confirms this

I think both of you are getting the same pool of 15GB. Then each can use as much or as little as they choose until there is no data left.

As an example, if I person constantly streams music / videos & they use up 12GB in the month, the other person would be left with 3GB for the month. Or put a different way, assuming data is allocated on 1st of month. If one phone uses all 14GB by day 5, then both phones have to share the remaining 1GB for the rest of the month.

Please keep this GZ community vibrant by contributing in a constructive & respectful manner.

Have a look at;

This explains that each party gets their own allocation.

Its complicated and dependent on what plan you are on:

https://www.2degrees.nz/business/mobile-plans/business-connect has a pool allowance between devices.
https://www.2degrees.nz/business/mobile-plans/business-choice?price=inc (which has $58 ex gst for 15GB carryover+ $26.09 per extra team member) - this seems suggest 15GB per connection.

Yeah. I had seen some of that, and then I saw this on their website too, which seemed to suggest shared data the way it reads.

But seems from that FAQ that the consumer group plan would be each person with their own allocation.

Yes, as above I can confirm each person gets their own separate 15GB.
