I called the 2 Degrees Call Centre today. I needed to update my email address for the chinwag promotion.

The service was fantastic, but they must be using a VOIP system because the call quality was very poor. There was lots of static/hissing in between our words when someone wasn't speaking.

I'm glad it wasn't a long involved call... but I thought it was worth mentioning so 2 Degrees are aware it also.

I experienced some bad call quality when I rang them also. The night their tv ad went live.

There customer service dept. is very very good. Alot better than vodafone and telecom, (but they do have no customers. :D) they answered phone very fast and they were easy to understand and talk to unlike vodafone and telecom :@ and with this, I dont have to pay to get help, but cheeky vodafone charges $1 to talk to someone about something I ALREADY pay for. good on ya 2Degrees. :)

So their call centre is New Zealand based? I wonder if 2 Degrees can give an assurance that they plan to keep it that way.

If so then that would be a very compelling case for choosing 2 Degrees over Telecom or Vodafone.

+1 a NZ Based call centre would encourage me to move to 2 Degrees. Sick of trying to deal with Vodafone's overseas call centre!

Just to further clarify my experience yesterday...
10 out of 10 for Promptness of answering the call
10 out of 10 for Friendliness
10 out of 10 for Professionalism
10 out of 10 for Communication Skills
10 out of 10 for Resolving my query quickly
11 out of 10 for "Keeping it Kiwi" ... +5 bonus points for the fact that the fella I spoke to could pronounce my Māori name right!
2 out of 10 for Quality of the telephone line

If you can improve the quality of whatever telephone system you are using, then you fellas will kick some @ss!!!

I had them call me regarding the Chinwag promo, as I couldn't sign up online for some reason. Very nice Indian lady, with a strong accent but excellent English, made every effort to make my experience a good one.

I concur with the points above - also the call quality was a little poor - but the service certainly made up for it.

I called them up today and I totally agree with Tohe's scores. Of course now the call quality is fixed so I would put that up to 10/10 too. I spoke to Jay I think it was and he was able to answer my question straight away no fuss. So you have a good team there 2d.

+1 for the call centre comment..

Keep it local, keep Kiwi's in jobs.

Definitely an incentive.

Have called twice with a couple of questions - bit offputting to be told that there would be a wait and then get a person straight away without even a ringing tone between it, but thats just a minor detail. good service, able to understand them and so far I would rate them about eleventeen out of ten for effort. Shame about the lack of data pricing but I dont think I will be replacing any lost vodafone simcards anymore....

most of the people working @ 2dgrees are old vodafoners anyway so most of there customer experience and call handling skills will be thanks to VF!!

Now that 2Degrees have customers, I waited in a Queue for two hours and then gave up. Rang back a while later, and after about 10 mintues, was answered. The reason given for the 2 hour wait was that they are busy. The person tried to help but the problem is unresolved. Apparently they will ring me back. That was several hours ago.
