해외폰 개통
본국의 통신사를 통해 휴대폰을 구입한 경우 해외 및 다른 네트워크와 함께 사용할 수 있도록 잠금 해제를 해야 합니다. 일부 모바일 회사에는 이를 금지하는 수수료 또는 약관이 있습니다. 이 경우 두 가지 선택사항이 있습니다.

  • 타사 잠금 해제를 통해 개통(휴대폰 이상이 생길 경우, 보증 기간 내라도 보증 서비스 받을 수 없음)
  • 뉴질랜드에서 새 기계 구입(싼 기계를 사면 인터넷 요금도 아끼고, 고장·분실시 이득)

 

통신망 범위 및 속도
뉴질랜드에는 Spark, Vodafone, 2Degree 등 3개의 주요 휴대폰 사업자가 있습니다. Spark, Vodafone, 2Degree에서 사용하는 기술의 차이 외에도 사용 범위도 상당한 차이가 있습니다.
먼저, 뉴질랜드의 통신 가능한 범위를 두고 이런 말이 있습니다: “키위가 일하고 노는 곳의 90%을 커버한다”. 이 말인즉, 사실 통신망은 전체 면적 대비 50%만 커버하지만 실제로는 90%의 인구가 모여사는 지역을 커버한다는 뜻입니다. (한국처럼 독도에서는 짜장면을 시킬 수 없다는 말임)

  • Spark: 사람들이 사는 곳 중 98.5% 이용 가능
  • 2D: 사람들이 사는 곳 중 98.5% 이용 가능
  • Vodafone: 인구 98.5% 커버 가능

 

휴대폰 네트워크 속도
또한 스파크 모바일 네트워크를 사용하는 모든 사업자는 4G보다 속도가 빠른 새로운 XT-4G 네트워크를 공급하기 때문에 일반적으로 가장 빠른 인터넷을 사용할 수 있습니다. 보다폰은 LTE-A사이트 수가 많고 4G 대역 28개 사이트가 있어 이동통신 속도에 크게 뒤지지 않습니다. 세 네트워크 제공업체 모두 현재 5G를 출시했습니다.

 

휴대폰 요금제 용어

  • Prepay: 선불제 요금
  • Plan: 일반적인 월간요금제 간혹 주간요금제도 있음

  • Combo: 선불제의 일종, “Bundles”, “Value Packs”, “Packs” 등 다양한 조합이 있음
