2degrees is one of the country's largest telco providers. Here we run through its mobile phone plans, and give our verdict on the value they deliver.

2degrees pay monthly plans

2degrees offers four monthly plans that have carryover data. Plans come with a great perk: a free hour of data each day to use at a time that suits your data needs. Three of the plans also allow you to add up to five extra people at discounted rates to form a group plan:

• $35 Plan: 3GB Carryover Data: Unlimited calls & texts in NZ & OZ

Add a Sidekick plan for your smartwatch to plans for $5/m.

2degrees prepaid

2degrees offers eight prepaid monthly plans. And each, except the cheapest $8 monthly plan, comes with a great perk: a free hour of data each day to use at a time that suits your data needs. In addition, plans offer 7.5GB of free Carryover Data on join-up:

Do 2degrees phone plans offer value for money?

2degrees plans offer good value for money. The hour of free data each day is a good perk, and any regular plan data that you don't use can be kept for up to a year.

2degrees also charges per calendar month for its prepaid, meaning you only have to renew 12 times a year, not 13 times a year like plans that charge every 28 days. And 2degrees pay monthly plans are some of the cheapest in the market for the data on offer.

Its group plans are also good value, and allow you to add up to five people onto your plan, which is perfect for large families. The telco also offers discounts for seniors and extra data for students.
