Spark & Skinny Existing Prepay Users: Free 100GB Data & Unlimited Calls/Texts until February 26 (Cyclone Gabrille)

380

Can't confirm if its nationwide myself but posts on geekzone suggest it is. You should be able to see the Data added on the Skinny app unsure about Spark.

Huge shoutout to them for looking after kiwis like this when contacting family is important.

Prepaid Mobile customers: We've loaded 100GB of data for prepaid mobile customers. This will be available to use until 11pm, Sunday 26 February. This data can also be shared with other devices through hot spotting. Prepaid mobile customers also have unlimited calling and text. This will support those of you who are in areas where data is not yet up and running and those who do not have unlimited or large voice / SMS calling packs.

Pay Monthly Mobile customers: Customers on our “endless” plans have had reduced speed thresholds lifted, so they can access unlimited max speeds. Customers with rollover plans have had data caps lifted, so they can also have access to unlimited max speed data. This will also be available for customers until 11pm, Sunday 26 February. To ensure our network can provide a good experience for everyone our fair usage policy applies.*

    This is not a deal that is obtainable. It is given to existing customers only

      So it's possibly obtainable to ~40% of the existing local market plus whatever marketshare Skinny has. I've added existing to the deal title.

        Any promotion that's either new customers only, or existing customers only, will always attract complaints :P

    • My sister signed up for skinny yesterday (bought a new SIM card and new plan) and got the free 100GB, so can confirm it’s for new customers too.

    I've got skinny prepaid & can confirm that I've just noticed 100gb max speed data on my dashboard, I live in South Island. I guess it gets applied to everyone automatically.

  • Any ideas how to best use 100gb of data? I hardly ever use any.

    • stream, hotspot, fb scroll, game (if you can), get youtube vanced and have youtube music premium running for freeeeeee
      Believe me, this is a lifesaver and deeply refreshing for someone who's used to the abundance of data in australia.

  • Can confirm it just magically appeared on my Skinny app…but I have no real use for it. I use like 1GB/year

  • Do I have to have an active plan? Swear I've got a Skinny sim I used many moons ago

    • I'm not sure, give it a try and report back :)

  • Am i reading this correctly, its expiring in 5 days?

    • +1

      yes iirc from the 20th until the end of the 26th

  • can confirm mother in law visiting from overseas got it on her $16 Skinny plan, sim card 20 days old.

  • Thought that was a glitch.
    $16 Skinny plan (in Auckland)
    100gb showing in the app

  • I just activated one one my skinny sims that was just sitting in a drawer. Its a fresh sim and it has it :)

    • Do you have to buy a plan to have the 100gb?

      • +1
