Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest mobile plan for seniors in NZ?

The cheapest plan we list with unlimited NZ calls and at least 1GB of data is Skinny $13 Plan (1GB Rollover Data) at $13 per 28 days (1GB/28 days).

Which mobile providers give a SuperGold discount?

How much data does a senior need?

If you mostly call, text, use email and video chat on WiFi at home, 1GB to 3GB a month is usually plenty. Video calls away from WiFi use about 0.5GB to 1GB an hour, so pick more data if you do those often.
