Roaming with 2talk Mobile

Happy Travels! We hope you have a great trip. Read on to learn all the things you need to know about using your 2talk mobile overseas.

How to get roaming on your mobile

Roaming is disabled by default on 2talk mobile plans.

If this is the first time travelling with your 2talk mobile service you’ll need to log a support ticket and ask the team to enable roaming on your number. We recommend you do this before you travel.

You will also need to set up your device APN to access roaming data.

What happens when I arrive at my destination?

If you’re in a destination that provides roaming, you will receive a welcome text from our mobile carrier 2degrees when you turn on your phone in that destination.

The Welcome text will confirm what services are available in your destination and if it is a $8 destination or not.

How much does Roaming cost?

There are different roaming services and rates depending on where you’re travelling to:

$8 per day for over 100 Destinations
No Data Destinations
No Service Destinations

All roaming charges are in addition to your plan charges. See below for a full list of charges by destination.

When Do Roaming Charges Apply?

For $8 Destinations you will be charged the $8 daily rate as soon as you do any of the following:

make a call (including to Voicemail)
receive a call (or don’t answer an incoming call that diverts to your Voicemail)
send a text; or
use mobile data (This includes any apps that may refresh or update automatically, even when you aren’t using them.)

Only your plan’s NZ minutes, texts and data allocations are included in Daily Roaming. This allows you to call or text any standard mobile or landline in NZ, Aussie, and the destination you’re in (as applicable). Add-ons and extra plan inclusions are not included in Daily Roaming and will incur additional charges when you use them in your overseas destination.

In certain destinations, answering a call will not trigger the Daily Roaming rate. Instead, you’ll be charged $1.15 per minute. These destinations include:

Cook Islands
Western Samoa
Tonga
Vanuatu
Papua New Guinea
Nauru
Fiji

When you land back in New Zealand, we'll automatically detect that you're home, and your regular plan use will resume. You don’t need to do anything else.

For No Data destinations you will be charged on a pay as you go basis for calls at the applicable rate.

How to check your Roaming usage

You can manage your Roaming usage in the 2talk web portal.

Usage will vary depending on several factors, including device model, the device settings, network used and application settings.

You can avoid unwanted data charges by turning data off on your phone and connecting to WiFi to use the internet. You will only be able to connect to the internet and check emails if you use WiFi. Switch data back on when you return to New Zealand to ensure you get the best possible coverage.

If you have a compatible phone, you may also be able to use WiFi Calling
