known as 2Degrees


2degrees Welcome

Except for their brand image they've released very few information so far. Those who are interested should rather have a look at Forum: 2degrees instead of 2degree's empty website.

Its early days yet but sites are going in Rapidly .

Telecom WCDMA 850 will launch this Friday !!:D:D

updated website
 

Free SIM
 

I have registered with 2degreesmobile for one of their free sim offers !!
:D:D

It launched yesterday (on the 5th)

There seem to have been teething problems for some customers signing up, though despite the headlines the network says not many were affected

2degrees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems the regulator didn't like a leak about the termination rates deal between Vodafone and 2degrees

and there are MVNO arrangements about to appear

kiwisteve sent me a couple of SMS two nights ago and they work between 2degrees and Wind, good! :)

Unfortunately it doesn't work the other way around
Nothing received from Wind ITA , Movistar and Personal Argentina

So far only Austalia Vodafone has been received

If there is anyone else that would like a test to NZ 2degrees send me a PM
with a number to try

The lack of bundled SMS and Voice offers won't be attractive to heavy users !!
