Spark Shakes Up The Data For Dollars Ratio In Aotearoa With New Mobile Plan Line Up

Spark has launched new ‘big data’ mobile plans, offering data inclusions that improve the ‘data for dollars’ ratio in Aotearoa.

SME and Consumer Director, Greg Clark, says recent figures show average monthly mobile data usage grew by almost 30% in the year to June 20231, and the telco’s research shows that data for dollars is valued above everything else.

The new plans offer customers the max speed data they need to enjoy their favourite music, videos, or games on the go, without compromising on speed or streaming quality.

The line-up includes:

  • $90 Unlimited with unlimited max speed data, including Spotify Premium (usually $18.99 /month), Apple One Number Wearable Plan (usually $7 /month), international call and SMS allowances, unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, unlimited hotspot, Spark Voicemail app, and the option to add up to 4 companion plans for just $45/month each
  • $75 Endless with 150GB max speed data2, including a $7 saving on Spotify Premium, unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, endless hotspot, Spark Voicemail App, and the option to add up to 4 companion plans for just $40/month each
  • $65 Endless with 75GB max speed data2, including unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, endless hotspot, and Spark Voicemail App
  • $45 Endless with 5GB max speed data2, including unlimited NZ/AUS calls and SMS, endless hotspot, and Spark Voicemail App

“We’re leveraging the significant investment we make into our network every year to take the worry out of the data equation and make sure our customers have the full-speed data they need to make the most of the digital world,” says Clark.

“And our re-introduced ‘Companion Plans’ allow friends and family on the same account to pick up the same data inclusions at a massively discounted rate, often with the same great benefits included too. For a household of five on our $90 Unlimited Plan, they’ll save a whopping $180 per month, as well as additional savings on Spotify and our Apple One Number Wearable Plan.

“We’re excited to give our customers the freedom to take full advantage of New Zealand’s most reliable mobile network, with the widest coverage experience3.”
