Calling & texting people overseas.

Your friends & family probably aren't just in New Zealand. So we've made it easy to call just about anywhere in the world.

It only costs 9c to text and 44c a minute to call landlines and mobiles in NZ and the 22 countries below.  And with every top up international calling gets even sweeter.  Every time you top up we reward you with a pretty flash 22c a minute rate to mobiles in selected Asian countries and landlines in the countries below.  We’re working hard to increase the list of countries that get these great calling rates so check back regularly for updates. 

The extra value when you top up is valid for 30 days from the date of top up.

 

 

The rest of the world and satellite phones

And if you want to call your friends anywhere else in the world or people with satellite phones then you'll need to know this:

Satellite CallsTalking
Inmarsat$15.00/min
Iridium$15.00/min

Some things you should know.

All voice minutes are rounded up to the nearest minute.

You can't use the free texts you get with your Top Up reward to text people overseas.  They can only be used to text people in New Zealand.

Top Up rewards are valid for 30 days from the date you top up.  After 30 days your calls will go back to our standard rates (which are as cheap as chips anyway).  Any unused free texts will disappear.  The special Top Up reward rates only apply to calls using your 2degrees mobile in New Zealand.

The countries in the table to the left all have more than one mobile phone network.  You can call all of these networks, but some of them are yet to join up their bits to receive text messages from 2degrees or to send texts to 2degrees.  Here's a list of networks that we know are all connected for texting.  We're constantly working to extend this list.  Please let us know if there are any networks you are having problems with by dialing 0800 022 022.
