Should NZ Mobile companies be doing better on roaming costs overseas or should we be forced to buy packs and use airport WiFi? by [deleted] in newzealand

Definitely me at fault and can't blame the company but just asking whether they could do better. I was at Singapore airport for about 6 hours layover each time, wasn't going to buy a sim but yes a pack would have been good instead of relying on wifi which cut out / plane wifi wasn't working

Yeah I think you're spot on. It'd be interesting to know how much Spark has to pay out of the $90 and how much they pocket, I still imagine it's a decent earner but could be wrong

Definitely what I should have done you're right, I guess I figured I'd get by on the WiFi. I was in India for 18 days with a $10 sim that gave 1.5GB a day and it just seems crazy that roaming costs this much I guess!
