That’s us. MVNOs partner with an MNO, typically the wholesale arm, to resell services on that network.
While there are an increasing number of MVNOs popping up in the country, we were the first to launch an unlimited mobile data plan, and our Starter plan was the cheapest unlimited mobile data plan in NZ at the time of its launch.
Because an MVNO doesn’t have to maintain the infrastructure that an MNO does (e.g. cell towers), we generally have lower costs and can pass the savings onto customers. Most are also online-only, avoiding the costs of maintaining brick and mortar shop fronts, retail staff, and a huge head office.
Some people wonder, if we just use the One NZ network, why not use them directly as the mobile provider? Why go through a middleman?
