"It works in a similar way to our broadband service in that you just add your debit or credit card upon sign up which then repurchases your Combo automatically every 30 days. So no more top ups!"
Unlimited NZ calls, unlimited texts & 3GB data - $30
Unlimited NZ calls, unlimited texts & 6GB data - $50

The Geekzone discussion has more info.
Anyone thinking of taking this offer up, please be aware that any existing credit (If you are already with Skinny) will not be carried over, and will be lost. Just FYI.
With this i feel like Spark is cementing that any non carrier owned MVNOs will not be feasible in NZ. I was hoping we'd see more of what aussie has, where MVNOs help provide additional competition. But there's no way someone reselling a service could compete with these rates in the NZ market, unless the comcom forced wholesale rates right down.
Great value though.
Keep in mind though that the Aussie market has taken a few big swings down and back up, as far as offerings go. It seems to be back down now though, so there are so great deals available over there again. Hopefully this does force the others to either drop their prices or add more data though. Just reading about the 2/3 (hopefully) new international cables being run from NZ this decade, so dragging wholesale costs down should also help push data limits up.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see the idea of text/sms messages being phased out over the next few years though, they seem to be used less and less, and the extra capacity without them should also help. Just speculation though, I might be way off.
Does this allow carryover data?
Don't think so, no.
No Australian calls for big business :(
Not saying it's good, just pointing out that they have a Australian minute bundle.
Wow such a great deal!
