How To Pick the Best Mobile Plans for your Family

Rocket Mobile Family Plans

How to pick the best mobile plans for your family

It’s hard enough juggling regular family life, without also spending tons of time researching every mobile provider to find the best deal for your whānau.
Luckily we’ve chipped in with this chore, so you can be sure you’re getting the best family mobile plans possible, while keeping your crew connected.

Family plan group discounts

Whether you have two or five in your household, you can save with our group plans. Just make sure there are at least two eligible plans in the group, and you’re good to go.

Pick & mix your plans

Our group discounts lets you choose different plans for different family members, so you can splurge on faster data for you, while saving on the ones for your kids – especially important if you’re still footing their phone bill.

Plans for you

We have a whole other article on picking the right plan speed, but in short, what do you usually do with your device when you’re out and about? Happy just listening to your favourite podcasts while commuting on the train? Or are you delving into super data-heavy tasks?
Either way, our multi-max offer is unbeatable in value. Enjoy max speed unlimited data for only $50 a month, saving $20 per plan per month compared to the non-group discounted price of Rocket Max. Just make sure you’re in a group with at least one other eligible plan to save.

Plans for your kids

Settled for the cheapest plan possible on another provider for your child, only to get frustrated when they chew up all the data in a day, and end up begging you for a top up before the next bill?
A great choice for first phones is Rocket. That means you’ll always be able to reach them on Whatsapp or Messenger, and use location sharing if needed.
For older kids, a faster plan like Plus is perfect for doing it all, while still being affordable compared to other providers’ similarly priced capped plans. They can even have their own account and payment card loaded, so they’re responsible for their own phone bill, while everyone shares the benefits of group discounts within the family.
You don’t have to live in the same household to enjoy group benefits, so even if they’ve flown the coop to go off to uni, you can still stay in the same group to grab a discount. Ready to pick your plans? Click here.

Rocket Mobile Capped Plan Overview

What is it How much Do I have any other options
Voicemail Calls to voicemail are FREE Go for gold. And with unlimited talk and text on our plans, you can carry on connecting without worry.
MMS PXT Not available If you are a serial PXTer you are better to send your messages via a messaging app like WhatsApp or Messenger instead.
International calls & texts $10 for 250 calling minutes and 50 SMS messages to use within 30 days with our International Add-on You can also use an app like WhatsApp or Messenger to contact friends overseas while connected to WiFi or mobile data. If you're on Pay Monthly, if you call or SMS overseas outside of the International Add-on, you'll be charged per minute or per SMS at rates specific to that location.
Roaming For just $9 a day you can use your NZ data, minutes and SMS in our Daily Roaming destinations. Our Daily Roaming Add-on is a pretty choice option. Otherwise you can stay connected via WiFi or a local SIM when you're travelling.
Premium rate numbers Calls/SMS messages to premium rate numbers (e.g. reply "yes" messages that are subject to additional charges) aren't available on our Pay Upfront plans. To maintain our everyday low prices and remove bill surprises, our Pay Upfront plans don’t allow premium SMS or calls. That might mean for example that you need to call your dentist to confirm that appointment instead of replying by SMS

Other things to keep in mind:

  • Unlimited talk and TXTs are for standard person-to-person calls to standard NZ and Aus numbers.
  • Your Rocket Mobile mobile plan is for personal mobile use only.
