Haha, I didn't realise it could be read that way... Ok maybe I'll rethink.

Great post in your new thread there carkitter. I'll add it to the first post of this thread when I'm on my Mac, probably later on today. I didn't want to spoil your work by posting this there, so I'm doing it here. 
Perhaps you could add in a few more details of XT's texting deals. Like the $12 for 600 texts to any mobile and so on.
Also, possibly the fact that Telecom gives you 25% extra for free with any top-up, and that 2degrees are doing their 'magic' thing.
Otherwise awesome stuff, and I'll let you know if I think of anything more.

Haha! you beat me to it.
The post is here. Check it out!
If anyone has any more info to add, PM me or post here.
@M-O
Are my comments on Chch and Dunedin passable? Could you suggest any better comments?
I want to keep it simple, there are plenty of links for people to use.
Added some info about the top-up bonuses.
The Vodafone forum gets a lot of questions about this stuff and it's kinda awkward to answer in a non-partisan way when overseen by Vodafone staff...

Nice one.
Perhaps Dunedin could be described as cold (southern-most major city) and a student haven?
Christchurch is called the garden city, but otherwise English suits it fine. Not much to brag about here.

I might invoke howls of protest from Invercargil, they like to claim the southernmost city title.

I have added your new thread to the first post twice.
Disappointing that we can no longer have coloured text on Esato. Personally I think it makes the first post look a little weird. 
I'll give it an overhaul at some stage fairly soon.

carkitter - or not including palmy! No honestly dont change it, noone will be visiting there anyway!
Very detailed post you made there. Dont think many will be asking questions!
I might sound abit slow but i only realised the extreme cost of cancelling your contract on telecom! My flatmate said its $185 for her to break it! (shes on telecom, 12 month plan). I checked the cost to cancel mine on vodafone (similar plan and also 12 month) and its $65!

According to posts on geekzone, right now you can only get numers starting with 0220 and then 6 digits (0220 XXX XXX)

Is it not dependent on how close to the end of your contract you are too? I remember it was when I ended my contract a few years ago.

Yup it still is. Sorry forgot to mention that my flatmates contract was on the lowest cancellation fee (shes a good 6 months into hers) and mine was on the highest (im only 3 months into mine). The worst is that on telecom, you have to pay $185 even if its your last month! and before your 7th month its even higher! |

Reception is good. It was quite glitchy when I first put my sim card in, but I think have determined the cause to be that I am the first one to use the 2degrees tower in kumeu. lol
How you may ask? Well, I have learned that the LAC (displayed in my phone explorer in other>monitor net to the cell id) is actually the number your phone is assigned to on that tower. On vodafone that number reads 0261 (so there are about 261 phones connected) on 2degrees that number is 0001 (yes, thats right, my phone is probably the only one)
Was watching the telethon but thought I needed a bit of internets time. Will go back to watching it soon

Hmmm...
LAC on my V800 for 2 Degrees is 100 but on Vodafone it's 6D07.
LAC stands for Location Area Code.
