Cheers. I guess if one needs some minutes like I do, the cheapest route is 2degrees $8 monthly prepay + your $6 3GB monthly esim package.…

Seems like a great idea @Justboringtech As you are promoting an eSIM with only data, you need a reasonably cheap mobile provider for calls…

Hi fam. Is there a problem with the eskimo referral format? I got the prompt to update but it's not accepting the link lifted straight from…

Ah! Thanks. I've been looking for a direct answer to that question and couldn't find it. Wifi calling should be permitted IMHO, le the…

Not sure how I've messed this up but tried what you suggested and got charged $1.15 for a text message I sent! I got carried away as SMS…

Roamless is my current travel eSIM. Before that used the free offers from Redbull and Eskimo with no trouble.
27/05/2025 - 23:08
Thank you, I remember that setting! Do you switch off calls and messages so that you don't incur charges? Will wifi calling still work if…

Thanks @kiwi harry How to do this in practice? ELI5 please... To avoid roaming charges how can you leave data enabled without switching off…

Oof! No time to get a SIM delivered unfortuntely!

Thank you. I use an eSIM for data when abroad and have never roamed. Kogan is only a wee bit more expensive than skinny (90c), still…

Hmm.. Doesn't work for me, I don't know why. I have a Samsung Galaxy which should work fine. I have WiFi calling switched on but I switch…

Hi @bigcheese How does wifi calling work on Kogan? I never could get it to work with Skinny...
23/05/2025 - 22:40
Really tempted to finally move away from Skinny for this. For current users, is Kogan's coverage good? I hear they've fixed the short code…

Hey, what does it smell like? Anything like Morning Fresh (makes me nauseous for some reason)? I've been buying Palmolive exclusively for…

Thanks all. Found the geekzone thread and switched to Catima. Did a simple manual transfer but all good.

Hi team, Just wondering if there's any good alternative to Stocard. I loaded the app today and have seen the notice that it's closing down…

Thanks. Turns out it was a problem on their end. Between them and Chorus, they hadn't quite switched on my service!
27/03/2025 - 22:06
Righto! Final update. I'm pleased to report that we're up and running with Skinny. One phone call to customer services today and finally…

Thank you. The Skinny team were sure it was set up but my online account says different. I've now tried all the LAN slots (4), tried 3…

Good spot OP. I think it's been running awhile. I got it for $49/year simply by having home insurance with AMI. I was scouring the web,…

Thank you very much. Appreciate the advice. I tried with LAN2 without luck. I'll try the other LAN ports on the ONT. My router says "WAN…

Hi, what do you mean? Yes, fibre. Left everything as is from when with slingshot (& myrepublic before) Ethernet cable from LAN1 port on ONT…

Wee update. I went with Skinny because after including the connection fee, Zeronet were only $65 cheaper for the year. Didn't want to risk…

Samsung have lost me as a phone customer. Bought a fancy Samsung LED case that's suddenly stopped working after a Galaxy update. Turns out…

Cheers! That beats Skinny. Is One NZ a good provider?
