Handset also available in White https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/2degrees-alcatel-pixi-4x-wh…
Add handset first and then add 2 x $29 SIMs https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/2degrees-29-carryover-combo…
Good Entry level phone and 3 months worth of mins, txt and data on 3 SIM cards.
Yeah three different packs, so three different numbers. Unless you do a 'Bring your own number' to the new pack, but I think you are only allowed to that once.
How long is a SIM pack valid for?
What I mean is, if I byu a prepay recharge, it is valid for, I believe, 12 months from the date of purchase.
Does a SIM pack also 'expire' after some set period of time, or would it still be valid in, say, two years (assuming it is unopened and never used)?
Thanks,
Alan.
AFAIK sim cards, if un-activated, never expire. However the mobile operator may discontinue old prepay deals so you may not want to leave it in the cupboard for many years. 2 years should be fine however.
Actually, you can add another 2degrees $19 Carryover Combo SIM Blue pack, which will also be free. I think you'll end up with 4 packs and a phone for $69.

Great fine OP!
i think they have removed the 1x $29 pack hack, but can still do the 2x $19 ones
Thanks to this deal I now have 4 2degrees SIMs worth almost $100 together. I was wondering how I can make use of these without having to change my phone number all the time?
This is the only plan I can think of:
-use SIM 1
-when credit is used up, port number to another network
-port back to SIM 2
-repeat until SIM 4 is used
Is there a way to "port" within network but use the credit available in the destination SIM instead of the credit in the source SIM?
Thanks
do you know if the phone is locked to 2degrees or unlocked to be used with any carrier?
It's locked to 2degrees.
I seem to recall that you can unlock it for free after nine months, but you should check that with 2Degrees - don't rely on my memory!

Hi,
It says that the three 'months' are SIMs rather than 'packs' (or credit).
Does that mean that you would have to use the first SIM (say, one of the $29 Combo SIMs), then at the end of the first month, swap out that SIM for the next $29 Combo SIM, and for the third month swap in the $19 Combo SIM?
If so, it seems like your number will be changing every month (with each new SIM).
Is that correct, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Alan.
