Your NZ SIM card comes with a pre-assgined NZ mobile number. The 10 digit mobile number is printed on the back of your SIM. It begins with 02.
You can top up online or by using 2degrees Mobile App. You can also recharge over the phone by dialling 201 from your mobile and following the prompts.
To check the usage balances remaining on your NZ SIM card, text "BAL" to 233
In New Zealand
To make calls or send texts to NZ numbers: Simply dial the NZ mobile number without any country specific dial out codes.
Note: If the incorrect dial out codes are used, you will receive a nil balance/top up message - This is because the network does not recognise the location of the number you're dialling. It does not mean that you've run out of credit.
Calls & SMS to Australia
To make calls and send texts to Australia, you must make sure to use the Country dial out code +61 followed by the mobile number without the 0. Eg. +61 430 XXX XXX.
Receiving calls & SMS from Australia
Your friends and family can call and text your NZ Prepaid SIM by dialling +64 followed by your NZ mobile number without the 0 (first digit)
We're a leading Australian travel business focused on bringing affordable telecommunication solutions for outbound Aussie travellers. Since our inception, we have helped over 20,000 Aussies connect like locals and save on roaming fees.
All of our products are Prepaid. The features and allowances on each of our Prepaid Travel SIMs are all disclosed upfront. So you know exactly what you're getting when you purchase and there are no hidden surprises later on.
All of our Prepaid Travel SIMs work in areas where cellular signal is available. At open sea, when you're outside range of network towers, cellular signal may be weak or not available. However coverage will be available closer to port.
As long as your phone/tablet is unlocked they should be compatible with our prepaid Travel SIMs. If your handset is more than 7 years old, please contact us for advice on compatibility.
If you think your phone/tablet is locked, we recommend contacting your Aussie carrier for unlocking. If your phone/tablet has been issued to you from your employer, please check with them for compatibility as some work devices have additional security applications installed.
