UPDATE: Touch2Pay is now live. Here is the Snapper Mobile page. I have created a thread with 2degrees TouchPay with Snapper including their FAQ - any questions should go there now.

I'm hoping multiple-SIMs per plan (for multiple devices owned by one person). Let's wait and see




Homebuilt High Performance Desktop: Windows 10 Professional (x64)
Toshiba Encore Write 2: Windows 10
Nokia 930: Windows Phone 10
Samsung Tab4 7": Android Lolipop

I wonder if it is related to something else I know is being announced on that date, by another company...

A data only plan for those that want to do all calls by SIP/VOIP? Trust me this is going to be the next big thing!

That would probably be it. Interesting, but a pretty small market at present isn't it? A phone with NFC will be required, that and Snapper is only in Auckland/Wellington?

"a New Zealand first technology that will revolutionise mobile handset usage"
