Why Kiwi Mobile

What makes Kiwi Mobile unique? What are its advantages?

We built Kiwi Mobile from the ground up completely focused on getting Kiwis a better deal.

There are lots of sneaky tricks that other providers use to maximise their profits, like getting you to pay for data you don’t actually use, and putting you on 28 day data cycles (which they refer to as "months") so they can squeeze in an extra bill a year. From our point of view, there are 12 months in the year, not 13.

We set out to give customers maximum flexibility and better value. Here's what makes us different:

Pay only for what you use

Pricing is based on daily usage, so you're not stuck paying for data you never needed. No more shelling out $60 to $80 for a big plan because of that one time you hit your limits. You may well find you’ve only ever used half the data included on your plan, so why pay for all that extra every month?

Transparent monthly data cycles

You get 12 data cycles a year, not 13. No 28-day tricks. You can even choose weekly or fortnightly payments to suit your budget.

No contracts, no exit fees

Join when you want. Leave when you want. There are no long-term lock-ins or penalties for moving on.

Unlimited data, your way

Every plan includes endless data. You choose the speed. Stay on your tier and keep going at a slower speed, or upgrade anytime to get more full-speed data. There’s even a full unlimited option for power users.

Calls and texts included

All plans include calls and texts to NZ and Australia. Choice gives you unlimited, Lite gives you a good chunk. Plus, hotspotting and Wi-Fi calling are always included.

Multi-line savings without sharing data

Add family or friends and everyone saves, up to $9 off per person each month. No need to share data or stick to the same plan settings.

No hidden fees

No surprises. No admin fees. No SIM charges. What you see is exactly what you pay.

Easy setup and simple roaming

Bring your own phone, choose an eSIM or physical SIM, and get started fast. Roaming in over 100 countries is a flat $8 a day, with no fuss.
