Rocket Mobile Group Plans Explained

Whether you call it a group plan, family plan or companion plan, they’re all ways mobile providers encourage you to have more than one connection. Whether you get into a group with your family, friends, flatmates or frenemies, you can benefit from Rocket Mobile group discounts.
Read on to find out how Rocket Mobile group plans work, and how we’re different to other providers.

Who gets a group discount?

If you’re in a group and there are two or more active Rocket, Plus or Max plans, everyone on those eligible plans will get a discount, not just the companion plans. There are big savings to be had, so it pays to create or join a group if you can.

Group plans with no sneaky stuff

At Rocket Mobile, we’re all about doing things differently, and that of course includes group plans. Here’s how we’ve made it easier to enjoy group discounts, compared to other providers.

Group leaders aren’t forced to pay full price

We don’t force the group leader to pay full price while only the companion plans get the discount, forcing leaders to awkwardly ask for money back to even things out. We reckon it’s the fairest way to keep your fleet going.

Pick & mix the plans to suit

We get it, different strokes for different folks. Just because Rockey wants a max speed plan to make the most of his shiny 5G phone, doesn’t mean Rosey has to pay for the top tier one too when she’s perfectly happy with Rocket. Group members can be on different priced plans and still get a discount, as long as there are 2+ eligible plans in the group.

No need to call or go into store

We Kiwis love to DIY, and that’s why we’ve made it easy to form, join and add plans to your group, all by yourself. Some providers force you to call them and most likely wait on hold for ages, or schlep to a store, to get their group discounts. All you need to do to form or join a Rocket Mobile group is login to your MyAccount or app, and go into the Mobile Groups section of My Rocket.

No credit checks

Since all our plans are pay upfront (i.e. prepay), you don’t need to pass a credit check to sign up, activate, and start enjoying your group discount.

eSIM ready

We make it fast to get your unlimited data fix with eSIM. All our plans can be activated in minutes right after you sign up online, so you don’t have to wait days for a physical SIM to be delivered. It’s also easy to have multiple SIMs in your phone so you can switch between your personal and work plans. You can even use Rocket Mobile as your dedicated data-only SIM, while keeping your other SIM for voice and SMS.

Bye-bye bundle requirements

Certain multisaver promos look great on the surface, until you realise you have to buy power and/or internet with the same provider to qualify for the discount. At Rocket Mobile, you’ll save even when you only have your mobile plan with us.

You’re in control

Put multiple connections within your own account into a group, or buddy up with friends who have their own accounts. Everyone keeps their separate payment method, billing date and plan allowances, while enjoying the group discount.

Setting up a group

Simply go into the Mobile Groups section of your MyAccount or app (under My Rocket), and start inviting other Rocket Mobile connections to your group by entering their phone number. Your group will be formed after the first person you invite accepts your invitation.
Make sure you tell them you’ve invited them, and that they’ve accepted to form the group before your next bill, so you get the discount ASAP.
Any Rocket Mobile connection can be in a group, however group discounts will only be applied if there are two or more eligible plans in the group.
