181

Go on to the one.nz website, look at Pay Monthly plans, and put in your contact details - but don't hit submit or make an order. You will receive a few phone calls but eventually later that day you will get an email with below-the-line offers. I was offered significant discounts for 12-months over and above what they normally offer on their website:

Entry Pay-Monthly Plan – $25/month (12 months)

  • 9GB data (4GB + 5GB bonus)
  • Unlimited calls & texts

Endless Starter Plan – $40/month (12 months)

  • 11GB max-speed data
  • Unlimited calls & texts
  • Endless data at reduced speed

Endless Plus Plan – $63/month (12 months)

  • 55GB max-speed data
  • Unlimited calls & texts
  • Endless data at reduced speed

One Plan – $78/month (12 months)

  • Unlimited max-speed data
  • Unlimited calls & texts to NZ & AU
  • Free international add-on
  • Option to add up to 3 companion plans at $42 each, each with the same benefits

If you switch to pay-monthly and choose a plan of $40/month or above, you’ll also receive $200 One Wallet credit / phone dollars to use toward your next phone purchase. This credit is valid for 4 years.

  • DAMN, that's good shit. Thanks :)

    Also, these data offerings are way higher than what's showing on their website. So, cheaper cost and higher data limit? Wow.

    • They're desperately keen to sign me up - make the calls stop!

      But, yes - very good offers! Then just review your deal in 12-months.

      • I'm gonna use it to see if my current provider can match the offerings, as well.

  • This might be cheaper for some if you need more than 1 connection (say yes to group plans)
    https://rocketmobile.co.nz/mobile-plans/unlimited-monthly/#s…

    • How do these group plans work, does each sum need to pay for a certain plan as well as the group plan addon? Or for example can you have 2sims and just pay that $40/month?

      • Group plan is per sim pricing, so 2 sims is each paying $40/month (total $80/month), 3 sims would be $120/month total
        which can be attained by being in a group of 2 or more people, one person sets up the group and invites others into it then then next plan/month purchased is at the discounted rate

    • Am I missing something or is it currently that the group discount is more expensive than solo?

      • Atm if you're porting normal and plus plan is cheaper than group but only for 6months, so my suggestion would be to not be in the group for 6 months.
        For unlimited the group plan @ $50 is cheaper for full speed unlimited data

  • still not as good as Kogan bogof

    • Yeah but that comes around less and less, it's good to see what else is out there

  • Am I missing something here? How is this considered a deal?

    There are already plenty of Cheapies deals for mobile plans that are worth checking out. Some of them are not even limited-time promotions — they are ongoing offers that provide better value.

    Take the Endless Starter Plan – $40/month as an example. You get 11GB of full-speed data, which is going to run out pretty quickly for many people these days. Once that allowance is used, you drop down to unlimited data at a reduced speed. Looking at the fine print, the reduced speed is only around 1.2Mbps ("Maximum speed reduced to 1.2Mbps after full speed data allowance is exceeded"). That is an extremely poor experience for modern usage.

    For comparison, Mighty Mobile offers a $40/month unlimited data plan:

    https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/mighty-ape-mighty-mobile-…

    You get unlimited data at up to 10Mbps for the entire duration of the plan, which is roughly 8.3x faster than One NZ's throttled speed. Everything else is essentially the same.

    Want to make it even cheaper? The 365-day plan (which is comparable to One NZ's 12-month plan) through Primate (free signup and you can cancel the trial) works out to $279.30/year, which comes to only $23.28/month.

    https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/mighty-ape-mighty-mobile-…

    As for the One Wallet credit, that is not particularly useful. This is also one of the reasons many people stopped using Dosh — they replaced the cashback rewards with One NZ credit instead.

    If the argument is that you can use the credit towards purchasing devices or other products, then that is not necessarily good value. In most cases, you can get modern phones and other devices at significantly better prices through other deals rather than redeeming One NZ credit.

    For example, just the other day I bought a Galaxy S26 Ultra brand new for $1,250 and flipped it. You would not be able to get that kind of value if you were relying on One NZ credit to purchase the same device.

    So unless I'm missing some major advantage of the One NZ plan, there are much better-value options available.

    • I think this is a solid deal compared to the traditional ones the big companies offer. Cheaper and more value.

      Mighty/Kogan-type options aren't great overall outside of incredible data deals. You can't reply to certain SMS/texts, right? If it takes away functionality, it's also got drawbacks.

      Skinny's deal (which isn't at its best now) is one of very few good alternatives that's in between these two extremes. Cheaper, higher data, full functionality and a good network it uses.

      • What do you mean "you can't reply to certain SMS"? The benefits of both One NZ and Mighty Mobile plans are the same, except for the data part that I explained in my previous comment. I'm using Mighty Mobile myself and I've had no issues replying to text messages. I get unlimited text and calls.

        Rather than assumption and speculation, you should provide actual facts backed by some official information, whether it's terms and conditions or whatever.

        How many text messages do you even need to reply to on a monthly basis anyway? More than your data usage? Once you hit the data speed cap at 1.2Mb/s, that's pretty damn slow compared to what you'd get with Mighty Mobile's 10Mbps. Mind you, 10Mbps is slow as heck according to my standards, that's why I'm on the fastest plan with max speed and I pay around $25/month or something like that (due to a previous deal that I got). But the point is, 10Mbps is at least useable. It's the bare minimum.

        Also, who really uses SMS these days? Data is king and it can deal with calls (VOIP, like your calls via Whatsapp or whatever) and messages. That's arguably the more important one out of the 3 basic features (call / text / data) on a phone and what most people need. You can use a phone without calling or texting (you can do satellite text or calls free btw, albeit for emergency use-cases and most modern phones have this feature), but it'd be hard to use a phone without data. I'm not talking about using your phone for gaming or watching movies or whatever. I'm simply stating that the phone can only be used for either of those 3 functions, as that's what we're comparing against.

        • MightyApe Mobile limitation:

          "Plans do not include calls or texts to any premium and special numbers (i.e. short codes) and trying to contact these numbers will not work."

          • @LuckyB: Hmm, I see.

            I'll need to run some tests when I have spare time. I don't recall ever running into issues with this, but then again I don't ever use it anyway.

            But I think the choice is pretty clear to me. Pay $23.28/month and get better speed and maybe I don't get the "TXT YES to 1234" feature, or pay almost double the price with One NZ at $40/month, and get crap 4G/5G speed.

            • @Karens Hate Winners: The short code fee is annoying, basically it comes down to if the user of that short code service opts to pay for messages from the user back to that short code or if they pick the cheaper option where the user has to pay those costs themselves.

              Since Koganmobile/skinny etc don't have account credit on the plan you couldn't respond to some short codes where the user pays to reply, so say a Doctor/Dentist text appointment which requires a reply to that shortcode to confirm your coming that morning can't be replied to and may cause them to cancel if you don't call them to confirm etc.

              Some people claim kogan now works(they would be eating the cost if so or those people saying it worked were replying to free shortcodes), I have no idea as I have since moved to 2D.

              • @Dunno: Correct, it appears grabbing a cheapie mobile plan may have an inconvenience cost to some and I agree the saving are significant however, I rather have a frank and transparent discussions on the limitations or service feature shortfall and let fellow cheapies decide what works for em 💪

                • @LuckyB: Mighty mobile user here. Replying to appointments with YES all work without any charge. Same for my wife.

      • Kogan user here. I've been replying to texts from medical providers etc via shortcode without issue since I joined in Sept 2024.

        • Yes as a kogan user, short codes seem to work 90% of time. Always bewildered but never thought to ask why

    • What deal did you get the S26 Ultra for?

  • Entry level isn't bad but above that farm source is the better route:

    https://one.nz/farmsource/

    • That's for farming businesses, how's it apply to most consumers?

      • Anyone can get a farmsource card, I can't find much about it but they are free to get and then you can get the one or 2degrees farmsource plans. A few users on here have them myself included.

    • FYI 2degrees is $34ex GST for unlimited data, txts, calls.
      https://www.2degrees.nz/business/farmsource?srsltid=AfmBOoqB…

      • Do you know if you can share data with this deal like you can with their monthly plans?

        • Also want to know this, I remember someone saying you could back when it was 150GB of data and you can share it everymonth, but not sure if it still works after they upgraded the plan to "unlimited" this year.

          • @zyfinity: I called in to ask, and they said you can share data with another 2 degrees number, like their monthly plans

            • @junkbball2: Oh wow, really!

              How does that work if it's unlimited, I tried looking at the T&C's but never found anything about them throttling. Just a "unlimited fair use" allowance.

              With that assumption, you could get one of the unlimited plans, and then for example 3 of their cheapest $8 plans for family members, so it only works out to $34 + $8 + $8 + $8 and everyone gets unlimited data??

              Surely that's not right, or are prepay plans excluded?

              • @zyfinity: Sorry, he did elaborate, but I forgot to mention it in my reply. He said 50GB can be shared; I'm assuming in total. I share with two people usually on my pay monthly, they both are not on any plans, so they pay $0.

                • @junkbball2: Oh ok, That's still fairly decent, can share out to a couple family members easily then.

  • So they have a team who is able to give you calls to join up fairly quickly but when you want to get in touch with them for support you sit there on hold for over half an hour.

    • As it has ever been. Salesforce and retention have always had the most resources at Vodafone/One.

  • 2degrees farm source deal is better

    • What do you need to be eligable?

    • Do you know if you can share data with this deal like you can with their monthly plans?

  • I'm missing the obvious here, but where are you entering your details?

  • Just watch with these guys, they will turn voicemail back on with any changes between plans and prepay and not tell you till you start to get the SMSs about it. Then after turning it off they will turn it back on again a few weeks later. Ugh.

  • Looks like they are not doing it anymore, they can't beat my current deal which is slightly more than $25. so I guess the OP got lucky with it.

    Anyone got the deal?

  • Think i am going to move from Kogan to 2degrees Prepay

    If my sums are right using a mixture of the $34 per fortnight and $8 monthly plans I can get

    Aprox 7.5g for $13 pm.

    2x 40gb top ups for $68. And then down grading to the $8 pp monthly plan for 11 months

    You get 7.5GB on sign up and get free data for 1 hrof data a day
