Mobile Settings

Getting started with Kiwi Mobile should be as simple as getting your new SIM and then being good to go. Sometimes, in situations like where a phone has been purchased overseas, a few extra steps are needed.

If all your settings look bang on, head over to our troubleshooting page.

The basics. Easy ways to get the best coverage and speed you can.

Always have the latest phone softare update installed. This will get the best out of your phone, and also automatically apply the right settings 99% of the time.

Make sure data roaming is on so you can browse the internet, send emails, and use MMS on the entire 2Degrees network (we use this for our customers). Roaming within NZ is included at no extra cost.

Double-check that your network mode and operator selection are set to automatic within your settings.

Check your APN settings - your Access Point Name should be ‘internet’ in order to work across our entire network. See below for details on how to access this on your device.
