Fishpond now sell discount GSM mobile phones.
If you are using mobile data services in New Zealand, don't roam on your overseas SIM card. You could easily pay $NZ 30,000 per Gbyte. Buy a SIM card or USB stick from Vodafone or Telecom. 2 degrees has the cheapest pre-pay calls and now offer 3G data services and USB broadband sticks.
Here is how to make your USB broadband stick work in NZ or overseas.
I no longer sell callback phone services, as a range of cheap phonecards are available from most shops and dairies in NZ. I suggest you avoid the cards with high rates from NZ Telecom, NZ Post. Here are some examples:
Vodafone operates a GSM service at 900 MHZ in NZ. They have a Prepay Connection Pack for visitors to New Zealand. The pack contains a local Vodafone Simcard and $15 of prepay airtime, and costs $35. To purchase a Prepay Connection Pack call in to any Vodafone branch nationwide or order online at Vodaphone.
A new GSM operator, 2Degrees has brought some long needed competition to the NZ market, they started operations in August 2009 with calling and texting rates about 50% of the rivals, (but not data). Their phones and SIM cards are in supermarkets and local dairies.
Telecom operate a CDMA cellphone service that is incompatible with GSM. They have recently introduced a GSM-based WCDMA 3G service known as XT that was launched in May 2009. Type SIM card into their search box to see if your GSM phone is compatible.
You can rent GSM mobiles from the Vodaphone shops at the major airports. Here is another phone rental company Cellphone Rentals NZ.
