Will that work on my D900 - it should do once unlocked, right?
It got any pricing on texts to UK?
Looks like i may have to do it that way, just have to pay £13 for the sim.ste_bla said:Works on a normal unlocked up phone, i used my d500 out there udated last post

Ive seen on vodafone NZ, it says you can use the vodafone NZ sim in UK as normal - what about a UK Vodafone sim there?
Just checked Vodafone UK in NZ is similar to above (my post).ste_bla said:You can but unsure of cost TBH i've always been with o2

Looks the best bet to get the Vodafone NZ Sim Card then.
You been to New Zealand i take it? Where abouts?

Have been everywhere in the north island and a wee bit of the south
To do a domestic transfer you have to exit the airport and walk or shuttle to domestic about 2 miles away but you bagage should be taken for you if your flying with airnz again
TBH You can get sims at any electrical store (dick smiths, noel leeming) or any westfield mall with have atleast 2 stands/stores I wouldnt bother rushing, however there is a Mac D just to the left or the quar exit
One other thing travel money? If you havent yet the best two for me were Marks+Sparks for there and then Or travelex (pre booked)
And lastly to point out again if you change to the motormouth plan (which is free) its 39c a min for a call
We didnt want to be waiting around too long in Quar.ste_bla said:NZ - Land and 021 (voda)
UK - Land + Mobile
I always go via LA for the easy transit, more baggage and easy with firearms and pay more.

So it is 39c to UK Land/Mob, or have i misunderstood?
Syk3 said:So Motormouth is best?
Is that what you'd go for if you were gonna text/ring UK & also NZ?
Okay, sorry again - can this all be done by for example picking up the simcard, sitting in the car and setting it up then top up? Same as for example O2.ste_bla said:Yes
For texting makes no difference, but yes as its the cheapest to call home or nz national numbers
