How Unlimited Data Works in New Zealand
Australia & New Zealand Unlimited Data Plans provide unlimited mobile data in New Zealand with a high-speed data allowance for each 24-hour period. The amount of high-speed data depends on the plan level you select.
After the high-speed allowance is used, unlimited data remains available at reduced speeds until the next 24-hour period begins, when the high-speed allowance becomes available again. For full details, review the Fair Usage, Activation & Expiry Policy.
