What are premium TXT services?
Premium TXT services are mobile content or information services that can be accessed by TXT or PXT or via data GPRS/WAP services. These services enable you to vote on TV shows, enter competitions, receive information updates and buy content such as ringtones, wallpapers and games, and hundreds of other services. Premium TXT services are also used by charities to raise funds for their causes.
Premium TXT services are generally run using short codes. Short codes are 3, 4 or 5 digit numbers are used as the address to send the TXT message. Some Premium TXT services also use 10 digit numbers like a phone number.
Premium TXT services are provided by third parties
These third parties have arrangements in place with One NZ to provide the services to you and where appropriate for these charges to appear on your One NZ account. These services are created by content suppliers and delivered over the One New Zealand mobile network. They are called Premium TXT services because you buy them using your mobile phone, receive the content on your mobile phone and you will be charged a premium cost for the message.
Unique shortcodes
Each service has its own unique short code (PDF). All TXTs from a short code must be initiated by you. You may have signed up to these services by responding to a TV commercial, web page, magazine ad, or by replying to the associated shortcode. You may also have signed up by providing your mobile number to your video rental outlet or bank and agreeing to receive reminder or marketing TXT messages.
What Premium TXTs cost
The cost of a Premium TXT is variable and depends on the nature of the service. You will be informed of any charges before using these services. You can find cost information and frequency of messages on the first welcome message for a subscription services. For all other services, charges will be outlined in the original advertising.
How to stop receiving a Premium TXT service
If you no longer wish to receive these TXT messages, send the word STOP to the short code that you are receiving the TXTs from. You will be unsubscribed from the service and will receive a free TXT message confirming this.
Tips for managing your Premium TXT services spend
To manage your Premium TXT services spend and avoid unexpected high charges, One NZ recommends the following tips:
· Before providing your mobile number to anyone whether it be online or to your video rental service provider, always check what you are actually signing up to
· Check if it is a subscription service, one-off purchase, or a service and/or marketing message
· Read and confirm all terms & conditions and especially check the cost of the service and confirm how charges will apply. For content purchases, ensure that your phone is compatible
· Keep track of how often you send and receive messages from these services
· Keep a record of TXT messages being sent to opt-in and opt-out from subscription services as these contain important information related to the service

How Data Angel Overseas works
Buy before you fly
When you go onto the web at your destination, you'll be re-directed to buy a data bundle or you can buy a bundle up to 30 days before you fly. Simply TXT the code for the data bundle you want to 747.
If you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, we recommend you download the My One NZ app before you go. This is the easiest way to manage your account, check roaming prices and buy more data while roaming and at home.
Or buy when you land
You'll get a TXT* telling you how to buy a Data Angel Overseas bundle. Or, open your web browser and your tablet will automatically take you to our website.
*TXTs are not available for iPads or iPad Mini.
Top up if you need to
You can purchase data bundles as and when you need them through My One NZ.
When you've used 80% of your data allowance, we'll let you know you're about to run out. When you hit 100%, we'll ask if you'd like to buy a new bundle.
If you've got a tablet and you've used up your bundle, you won't get TXTs but we'll re-direct your web browser to our mobi site so you can choose another one.
