So, you’re keen to suss out whether a group mobile plan is worth it? Well, grab a cuppa and settle in, ’cause we’re about to dive deeper than a gannet going for an octopus.
The Good, the Bad, and the Data-Hungry
Group mobile plans can be a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, they can save you money if everyone’s on the same page about data usage. But let’s be real, who hasn’t been stuck with that one mate who streams Netflix 24/7 and blows through the whole data allowance before you can say “Bob’s your uncle”? Or that same person that means you need to join another group plan where you all have heaps of max speed data you don’t need.
Kiwis all have different needs in terms of data, and until now there was no easy way for Kiwis to get the benefit of buddying up as well as the freedom to have the plan that suits them best. The good news is we reckon that’s all changed now Kiwi Mobile is on the scene.
The Kiwi Mobile Difference: Having buddies pays off
That’s where Kiwi Mobile’s option to add Buddies comes in. Unlike some of the other fellas, we reckon everyone should have their own max speed data allowance and not be tied to one data cap.
It means an end to paying a premium for someone else’s TikTok addiction.
You can add friends and family to your plan while keeping everyone’s data separate! No sharing, no all having to pick the same max speed data limit.
Here’s the deal:
> Everyone saves: When you add buddies, everyone saves, with a lower daily rate (including you).
> Mix and match data needs: Everyone gets the max speed data they need
> No sharesies: Keep your data allowance to yourself
> Flexibility: Everyone can use a little max speed data one month and heaps the next, in their own individual way – no worries
> Unlimited standard calls and texts to NZ and AU: Yarn away to your heart’s content – everyone gets their own allowance here too
