Terms - Roaming with Pay Monthly Plans

1. Agreement

These terms and conditions form part of your Agreement with One New Zealand Group Limited (One NZ). If you have a Consumer Pay Monthly plan (On Account plan), the Consumer Terms and Mobile Terms and Conditions will also apply. If you have a Business Pay Monthly plan, the Business Terms will also apply. Roaming is not available on Base plans.

For Red Sure Spend* customers who request Daily Roaming, these terms and conditions as published on our website and updated from time to time, apply to the use of each mobile and data device on a Red Sure Spend pricing plan that uses Daily Roaming while roaming overseas.

*One NZ’s “Red Sure Spend” pricing plan was previously known as “Corporate Sure Spend” (and may still be referred to as “Corporate Sure Spend” for billing purposes). “Red Sure Spend” and “Corporate Sure Spend” refer to the same pricing plans.

2. Acceptance

You will be taken to have accepted these terms and conditions as soon as you start using roaming. We may vary these terms and conditions from time to time in accordance with the Consumer Terms and Business Terms.

Service outside New Zealand

Subject to your Pay Monthly Connection Agreement or, for Red Sure Spend customers who request Daily Roaming, your Telecommunications Services Agreement, and to your meeting our credit criteria, we will enable roaming within 48 hours of receiving your request. You acknowledge that service outside of New Zealand is provided by external carriers and is subject to those carriers' terms and conditions.

We do our best to ensure a great roaming experience by providing access to overseas networks, but we are unable to guarantee the quality or coverage that any other destination provides.

Charges.

Daily Roaming.

  • Daily Roaming is available across the following mobile plans: Endless Data Plans, Unlimited mobile plan, Red+ Essentials, Red+, Red+ Super, Black, Black Super and all other Consumer Pay Monthly plans currently on sale, including Companion Plans, Red Share, Tablet Share, $29, $39 Pay Monthly plan, $59 Pay Monthly plan and $69 Pay Monthly plan, Red+ Business Unlimited, Business Team Plans, Red+ Business Essentials, Red+ Business, Red+ Business Super, Business Black, Black Business Super and Business Basics plans and Red Sure Spend plans (for Red Sure Spend customers who have requested Daily Roaming) (‘Eligible Plans’) in selected destinations (‘Daily Roaming Destinations’). See a list of Daily Roaming Destinations.
  • With Daily Roaming you’ll be able to use your Eligible Plan minutes, TXTs and data allowances when travelling in Daily Roaming Destinations for a daily fee. For all Eligible Plans except Red Sure Spend, this includes any monthly recurring data Add-Ons but no other Add-Ons or special rates (including Data Test Drive which is a special data allowance that is not part of your Eligible Plan’s inclusions and can only be used in New Zealand). For Red Sure Spend, no add-ons or other special rates (including premium numbers) can be used with Daily Roaming.
  • Your Eligible Plan minutes and TXTs can be used to call or TXT local numbers in the Daily Roaming Destination, local numbers in New Zealand and local numbers in Australia (if your Eligible Plan includes Australia calling and TXTing; see My One NZ for your plan allowances).
  • For Eligible Plans except Red Sure Spend, calls and TXTs to any other destination will be treated as international calls or TXTs and all other activity will be charged as per your standard Eligible Plan rates as if you had made the call or TXT from within New Zealand, (excludes any special international rates).
  • For Red Sure Spend customers who request Daily Roaming, calls and TXTs to any other destination will be treated as international calls or TXTs and will be charged as per the Standard International Call and TXT Charges set out in your contract.
  • The Daily Roaming charge applies each day you use your device in a Daily Roaming Destination. The Daily Roaming charge will be triggered when you do any of the following:
  • Make a call (including a call to voicemail).
  • Receive a call.
  • Send a TXT.
  • Use mobile data. This includes any data used by your mobile or data device, including email and any data used by apps on your mobile or data device. (Most devices have data roaming switched off by default. If you would like to disable data roaming while abroad this can be selected through the settings menu on your handset. The methodology you use to do this will vary slightly by handset brand. It is also dependant on the software version your handset is running, this mean even handsets of the same make could be slightly different to change. We advise you refer to the manufacturer’s website or your handset manual for the exact process for your handset.)Please note: if you are on a Black or Business Black package or on a Red Sure Spend plan that includes data roaming in Australia, data use on your mobile in Australia is included in your plan, so any data use on your mobile while in Australia on these plans will not trigger the Daily Roaming Fee. However, Red Sure Spend data connections will be charged the Daily Roaming fee whilst roaming in Australia.
  • The Daily Roaming charge is only applied on those days that you use your device while in the Daily Roaming Destinations. We’ll count a day as 00:00 to 23:59 NZ time. If you travel to another Daily Roaming Destination in the same day you'll only be charged the daily charge once for that one day that you use your device.
  • One Daily Roaming charge is applied per mobile data device on an eligible plan. For example, if you are in a Daily Roaming destination and use both your phone and tablet (which are connected to a Red+ plan) you will be charged a Daily Roaming fee for both devices.
  • For Eligible Plans other than Red Sure Spend, if you exceed your Eligible Plan allowances you will be charged at your standard Eligible Plan casual rates for making calls and sending TXTs as if you were in NZ. You can find more about these charges in My One NZ. If you use up your monthly data allowance while you’re overseas you will be given the standard Flexi Data option to purchase another data bundle at your Eligible Plan rates. See our Flexi Data page for more.
  • The Daily Roaming Charge will be as set out on our website, and pricing will be subject to change without notice. Please check our website or My One NZ before you travel for the latest pricing.
  • Daily Roaming charges are in addition to your monthly plan charge and will be applied to your next bill. GST charge applies.
  • Maritime or In-Flight Roaming are not included in Daily Roaming, and are subject to separate rates and terms and conditions.
  • Charges may be delayed if the external carrier is delayed in advising One NZ of roaming activity. Please note, there will also be a delay in this activity being available in My One NZ.
  • Daily Roaming is only available to customers who are normally residents in New Zealand, and can only be used in Daily Roaming Destinations for a maximum of 90 consecutive days at a time.
  • If you are not in a Daily Roaming Destination, ie a destination other than those set out in the list of Daily Roaming Destination (‘Non-Daily Roaming Destination’), other roaming rates will apply. These terms and conditions are set out below.
