2degrees introduces the largest and longest lasting mobile data prepay plan in NZ

In response to customer demand for its mobile broadband products, 2degrees today introduced a 12GB mobile broadband zone Data Pack lasting a full 180 days for $150. This is the largest and longest-lasting mobile broadband product on the market, giving customers even better value and more time to enjoy mobile Internet at their fingertips.

MiniMonos (www.minimonos.com), the sustainability-focused virtual world for children, has launched its first iPhone app, MiniMonos Flight. Players of the game become flying monkeys, and have to tilt their iPhones left and right to swoop through the sky, collecting wind clouds and avoiding energy-sapping pollution clouds. Trampolines on the ground provide bouncing rescues to monkeys that get too low.

MiniMonos Flight is an iPhone adaptation of the game in MiniMonos.com, the popular children's virtual world. Banana chips scored on the iPhone app can be posted to your MiniMonos.com account.

As of Friday 30 July, 2degrees customers will be able to swap their current SIM cards for one of the new 2degrees microSIMs. As their name suggests, microSIMs are a smaller version of a traditional mobile phone SIM card and are designed for use with the latest Apple mobile devices.

According to Chief Marketing Officer, Larrie Moore, 2degrees customers have been vocal in their requests for the new SIM card.

Telecom is encouraging people to connect their iPad with a Telecom microSIM. The XT Network offers customers value, competitive prices on mobile data plans and consistent 3G data coverage in more places around New Zealand.

2degrees, New Zealand's newest mobile network company, today dropped the cost of calls between networks by nearly a third, from 44 cents to 30 cents per minute with the launch of its Everyone100 Pack. This new pack represents the lowest-priced, and only, any-network pre-pay talk pack in the country.
