Two Degrees Mobile Limited (as we are officially known) is New Zealand's newest full service telecommunications provider. 

Back in the 90s a visionary group of Maori challenged the crown through the Treaty of Waitangi and won the rights to 3G spectrum. Despite financial and regulatory adversity a Maori Trust (Hautaki) was established with the challenge of launching New Zealand’s third mobile network. 

Tex Edwards founded 2degrees in February 2001 and provided initial capital.  Later that year investments were made by Strive Masiyiwa’s Econet Wireless group and shortly afterwards the pan-Maori trust Hautaki.

After successfully advocating for critical regulatory realignment the company was fully capitalised in 2007 and construction of its mobile network began.

We commercially launched in 2009, significantly lowering the cost of mobile for Kiwis.

Tex Edwards sold his interests in 2degrees in 2016 after some 15 years of support for the company including as a senior executive, director and founding shareholder.

Since our launch we’ve been busy. We have the backing of a unique partnership of international and Kiwi investors that have enabled us to build a brand new mobile network, helping us to cover 98.5% of the places Kiwis live and work. In March 2015 we also acquired NZ's fourth largest ISP, and now offer broadband services as well as mobile to Kiwis across the country.

We've put in place a great team, led by our CEO Stewart Sherriff and an internationally experienced management team which has a wealth of experience in building and delivering excellent mobile telecommunication networks and services.

We all really believe in what we are trying to accomplish for our customers and New Zealand. We’ve even been lucky enough to be recognised for it along the way, with a number of awards for our customer service over the years.

And this is just the beginning...

the issue with all of there plans hyperfibre or broandband is that they have everything running through CGNat which simply put means we all share the same internet ip address online and they also port filter closing most ports and assigning ports which cancels port forwarding….. The biggest issue is none of this is in the big print of there big flashy marketing which is in my opinion a very huge part of any provided service from any business “ hey we can do this and do that for……what for it…….this special price”……oh by the way these other things may not work because we also do this……sorry not sorry ...read more

Billing is an absolute nightmare. Took three months and four calls to get the price that I was promised. When I left I called to ask the best date to cancel as I wasn’t in a hurry. Took their advice and got charged for 27 additional days because it didn’t align with my billing cycle.
Pros
Fast and reliable
Cons
Ripped me off, can’t deliver on price promises

Pros
It was pretty cheap
Cons
Support and comms abysmal
