An easier way to buy
Buying a mobile phone on interest free is a great way to make payments more manageable.
Once you’re on a Pay Monthly mobile plan with us, just pick the phone you’d like, pay an upfront deposit ($99 for phones valued $149 and above), and then pick the term that suits you best (12, 24 or 36 months).
The rest of the phone amount will be spread out as a flat monthly cost which you pay on one bill with your Pay Monthly mobile plan each month.
There are no hidden or extra costs, just an easy way to manage paying for your new phone.
Even better? We've got great deals when you grab a phone on a 24 or 36 month term. Check them out here!

What happens if I cancel my mobile plan or want to end my Interest Free Payment (IFP) early?
In both scenarios, you’ll need to pay back the remaining balance of your mobile phone. The amount required to be paid back would exclude any interest free discount that you would have otherwise been entitled to if you remained for the full interest free term.
If you leave One NZ or move to One NZ Prepay, you will also have to pay any other remaining charges owing on your account.
