2degrees unveils calling and text tariffs (New Zealand)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: 2degrees, the new mobile entrant in the New Zealand mobile market, has reportedly revealed calling and text tariffs, which it says are half of what Telecom and Vodafone offer to their pre-pay subscribers.

Local mobile to mobile calls will cost 44 cents per minute compared with the 89 cents per pre-pay minute offered by Telecom and Vodafone. The local SMS will cost 9 cents each.
The operator says that these tariffs are same anytime of the day to any network and hold no contractual commitment to the service.
The operator says making international calls to selected countries are lower than the rivals offer. 2degrees CEO Eric Hertz says subscribers thinking of switching to its service can do so without losing their existing phone number.
