Do 2degrees phone plans offer value for money?
2degrees plans offer good value for money. The hour of free data each day is a good perk, and any regular plan data that you don’t use can be kept for up to a year.
2degrees also charges per calendar month for its prepaid, meaning you only have to renew 12 times a year, not 13 times a year like plans that charge every 28 days. And 2degrees pay monthly plans are some of the cheapest in the market for the data on offer.
Its group plans are also good value, and allow you to add up to five people onto your plan, which is perfect for large families. The telco also offers discounts for seniors and extra data for students.
Prices correct as of 21/10/2025.
