Roaming In New Zealand

Has anyone any experience of a good roaming SIM for NZ? I would prefer a MANX one but so far I can only see CallBlue who seem to do free incoming there. However their rates for other countries not that great. Presume I can Enlinea for that. Any advice appreciated!

It looks like Geodesa is charging 13p incoming, but Simazing appears to still be free there

09 Mobile also has free incoming calls there, and people on here have used it with Enlinea for 10c a minute outgoing

Even a Vodafone UK payt SIM with Passport looks useful for longer outgoing calls - off-peak calls (local time) are 5 pence a minute to UK and NZ landlines, and you could go via a UK calling card or 18185 for other destinations. If you can plan to make a series of consecutive calls, pressing # to follow on calls with the calling card but stay connected with Vodafone cuts down on 75p connect fees. If you do, I'd suggest using an IoM SIM for incoming calls and don't give out the Voda number

Cheers Andy. Loads of very useful tips there. I especially am beginning to like these Vodafone passport options.... Great option for light users. Just one question: Which Voda Pay as you talk give you 5p/min? I only found 10p/min.
