Share Services

   (a) share the allocation of Standard Unlimited Calls & Texts made available under your Eligible Plan with up to 3 Recipients by activating the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service; and

   (b) share the allocation of Data made available under your Plan with up to 5 other devices with a 2degrees SIM by activating the Shared Data Service. For more information on the Shared Data Service, see the Shared Data Terms & Conditions.

Activating the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service

5. You (or any person(s) authorised to do so in respect of their Eligible Plan) can request to activate the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service by:

   (a) Sending an SMS from the Mobile Phone Number associated with the Eligible Plan on which you wish to share your Standard Unlimited Calls & Texts and include in the text the Mobile Phone Number of the Recipient. The SMS should be sent to 233 and be in the format “Share Unlimited <Recipient Mobile Phone Number>”.  Then responding with a ‘Yes’ or ‘Y’ within 24 hours of receiving the SMS requesting confirmation; or

   (b) Calling Customer Care on 200 from your mobile if you are on an Eligible Plan that is Pay Monthly consumer Plan; or

   (c) Calling our Business Support team on 0800 022 BIZ if you are on an Eligible Plan that is a Business Plan.

6. A Recipient must be connected to a 2degrees Plan or Service (including Prepay) (Recipient Plan).

7. A Mobile Phone Number that is already connected to an Eligible Plan, or is a recipient under another Eligible Plan, cannot be a Recipient under your Eligible Plan.

8. You cannot activate the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service on your Eligible Plan if you are currently a recipient of the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service from another Eligible Plan.

9. Once the Recipient is successfully set up under your Eligible Plan, we will send a text message to the Mobile Phone Number associated with the Eligible Plan advising the activation.  We are not liable if these messages are not received by you.

10. The Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service will be activated from the date that a request is received and processed by 2degrees. 2degrees will use reasonable endeavours to process a request within 24 hours, but we are not liable to you if your request is not processed within this time frame.

11. 2degrees may refuse in its discretion to activate the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service.

12. Once a Recipient is successfully activated under your Eligible Plan, that Recipient will share the Standard Unlimited Calls & Texts of your Eligible Plan. The Recipient will consume those shared Standard Unlimited Calls & Texts before they consume any allocation of calls and texts made available, or Add-on purchased, under the Recipient Plan, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Carryover Minute balances associated with the Recipient Plan will continue to carry over for up to 12 months from allocation.

Charges

13. For each Recipient that is successfully set up, you will be charged $25 (incl. GST) each Billing month (or part month) while that Recipient is subscribed to the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service of your Eligible Plan (Unlimited Sharing Charges). For the avoidance of doubt, if you activate or terminate a Recipient part way through your Billing month, your Unlimited Sharing Charges for that Recipient will not be pro-rated for that part month.

14. The Unlimited Sharing Charges will be billed on each Billing Date following the date of successful activation of a Recipient. If a Recipient is activated on your Billing Date, then the Unlimited Sharing Charges in respect of that Recipient will be billed on the following Billing Date.

Managing the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service

15. You can view the Mobile Phone Numbers of all active Recipients under your Eligible Plan by texting “View Unlimited” to 233 from the Mobile Phone Number associated with that Eligible Plan. A Recipient can view the Mobile Phone Number of the Eligible Plan to which it is connected by texting “View Unlimited” to 233 from the Mobile Phone Number associated with the Recipient Plan.

16. A Recipient can only use the Standard Unlimited Calls & Texts of the Eligible Plan when it is located in New Zealand. The Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service is not available if the Recipient is roaming overseas. 

17. If the Mobile Phone Number associated with the Eligible Plan is roaming overseas, all active Recipients under that Eligible Plan will continue to be able to use the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service.

18. The Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service is at all times subject to your Spend Control limit or any Credit Limit applied to your Account. If:

    (a) on your Billing Date the Credit Limit applied to your Account has been reached, your Recipients will not renew. The Recipients will go on hold until the following Billing Date and will attempt to renew provided you have credited your account to allow the Shared Unlimited Charges in respect of those Recipients to be applied; or

    (b) the application of the Unlimited Sharing Charges on a Billing Date required for the renewal of any Recipient means that your Spend Control limit will be exceeded, then all or some of your Recipients may not be renewed on that Billing Date and will go on hold. Your Recipients will attempt to renew on the following Billing Date provided you have increased your Spend Control limit to allow for the required Unlimited Sharing Charges to be applied.   

    We will send a text message to you to advise that the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service has been stopped. We are not liable if these messages are not received by you.

Termination of the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service

The SMS should be sent to 233 and be in the format “Share Unlimited <Recipient Mobile Phone Number>”.

You (or the Account Holder or a Team Member, as applicable) can request that the Shared Unlimited Calls & Texts Service be terminated in respect of all active Recipients of an Eligible Plan at any time by sending an SMS including the words “Stop All Unlimited” from the Mobile Phone Number associated with the relevant Eligible Plan to 233. Then responding with a ‘Yes’ or ‘Y’ within 24 hours of receiving the SMS requesting confirmation
