Rocket Mobile offers a simple range of mobile plans built around the speed you need, not the data you use. There are two main types of mobile plans: unlimited plans (monthly and weekly) and capped data plans. On the unlimited side you'll find Rocket ($40/mth, 10Mbps), Rocket Plus ($45/mth, 40Mbps), and Rocket Max ($75/mth, max speed 5G). Every plan comes with unlimited data, plus unlimited calls and texts to standard NZ and Aussie numbers. Easy!
It all comes down to the speed you need! Rocket ($40/mth) is our everyday HD hero for scrolling and streaming, Rocket Plus ($45/mth) is the sweet spot for 4K video and gaming, and Rocket Max ($75/mth) unleashes full 5G speeds. Whichever you pick, you get unlimited data, no contracts, and no bill shock - which is why so many Kiwis rate us among the best mobile plans in NZ. Still deciding? Our friendly Live Chat crew is happy to help you find the perfect fit.
Yes! Our unlimited data plans give you truly unlimited mobile data, with no slowdown to unusable speeds once you hit some hidden cap. Just choose the speed that suits you and stream, game, and browse away.
Here's the upfront single plan pricing on our unlimited mobile and data plans:
Rocket - $40/mth, unlimited data at 10Mbps (great for HD streaming)
Rocket Plus - $45/mth, unlimited data at 40Mbps (perfect for 4K and gaming)
Rocket Max - $75/mth, unlimited data at max speed (the ultimate 5G experience)
The price you see is the price you pay every month. No sneaky fees, no card surcharges, no surprises!

Both give you the same unlimited mobile data plans - the only difference is how often you pay. Monthly plans are billed once a month (12 times a year), so you're not stuck with those pesky 28-day cycles that sneak an extra bill into your year. Prefer more flexibility? Our weekly unlimited plans let you pay week to week. Either way, there's no contract, so you can switch it up whenever you like.
Yes! If you'd rather have a set amount of data at max speed instead of unlimited, our capped data plans have you covered. They come bundled with unlimited talk and text to standard NZ and Aussie numbers too. It's a tidy option if you're a lighter user who wants a mobile data plan that's simple and predictable.
Absolutely! Since all our unlimited plans come with unlimited mobile data, they make brilliant data only plans. Pop one in a dual-SIM phone or a tablet and you're sorted - no more hunting for WiFi.
With eSIM it's even easier: just head into your SIM settings and choose which SIM handles your mobile data. If you want mobile data plans only for a device like an iPad, our SIMs work a treat.
Just make sure you have a phone handy to activate the eSIM, as you'll need to reply to the SMS you're sent. Click here for more details.
For the heaviest users, Rocket Max ($75/mth) is the pick of the bunch. You get unlimited data at max speed, unlimited hotspot data, and full 5G performance where it's available. It's one of the best mobile data plans going for anyone who streams in 4K, games online, and wants zero speed restrictions. All you need is a 5G device and a 5G coverage area to unlock those top speeds.
Yes! Hotspot data is included on all our mobile data plans, with speeds matching your plan. Rocket and Rocket Plus include 20GB of hotspot data, while Rocket Max gives you unlimited hotspot data. Just remember, our plans are built for mobile use, not to replace your home broadband.
They sure are! Every Rocket Mobile plan is 5G ready. For the fastest 5G speeds, jump on Rocket Max, which delivers unlimited data at max speed. You'll need a 5G device and to be in a 5G coverage area to make the most of it.
Our mobile data plans run on One NZ's award-winning network, independently tested by umlaut, covering 98.5% of the places Kiwis live, work, and play. That means reliable coverage wherever you roam. Every plan also includes WiFi calling, so you stay connected even where reception is patchy.
Yes! When you sign up with a group, you unlock a group discount that brings the price of your plan down even further. It's a simple way to make our already great-value mobile plans even better value. Head to our Group Plans page to see how much you and your crew could save.
Nope, none of our plans lock you into a long-term contract. You can cancel anytime by switching off auto-renew in MyAccount or the app, and your plan simply stops at the end of your billing cycle. No early termination fees and no hoops to jump through. Freedom, sorted!
No credit check needed! We've done away with ID checks and credit checks, so anyone can join. All you need is a valid NZ credit or debit card and you're good to go - one of the reasons so many people rate us for the best mobile plans in NZ.
Switching is quick and completely free! Just choose your plan, then select 'Bring your number' when ordering your SIM and pop in your existing number details. Not ready yet? Grab a temporary 029 number and transfer your real one later - a day, a week, or even months down the track. Once you've switched, you'll be on one of the best mobile data plans in NZ with unlimited data at the speed you need.
