Telecom Adds Free On-Net Calls And Texts to Prepaid Pack

Telecom Adds Free On-Net Calls And Texts to NZ’s Best Value Prepaid Pack

Telecom is helping Kiwis to stay in touch this Christmas and over the summer break by making its $19 Big Value Prepaid Pack – currently New Zealand’s best value mobile prepaid pack - even better.

From today all customers using the $19 pack will be able to call and text other Telecom mobiles for free up until 31 March 2013, provided they have enough credit on their phone to keep renewing the pack each month. This comes in addition to the 60 national minutes (to any network), 5000 person-to-person texts and 500mb of data already included in Telecom’s $19 Big Value Prepaid Pack.

Telecom’s Chief Marketing Officer Jason Paris said “we all know that the Christmas and summer break is far better when you can share it with family and friends, and so Telecom wants to give Kiwis another way to connect with those loved ones who don’t happen to be in the same town – without breaking already stretched Christmas budgets.

“What better way to do this than by making sure that Telecom mobile customers can call and text each other for free? We’re encouraging Kiwis to come and join us this summer. It’s easy to change mobile phone network, we can sort it for you – and we’re not fussy, you can bring your existing mobile number with you!”

People who are unsure of whether their friends or family members are Telecom customers can find out simply by texting their mobile number to 300.

The deal will be rolled out automatically to the more than 100,000 Telecom mobile customers who have already purchased the $19 pack. New customers eager to get free calling and texts to their friends and family who are on Telecom mobiles have up until 31 January 2013 to sign up. For other terms and conditions see http://www.telecom.co.nz/mobile/mobile/plansandpricing/big/.

Customers can sign up to and manage Prepaid Value Packs on their phone through the T-World or Your Telecom applications, or online at www.telecom.co.nz/ytmobile/
