What phone plans does One NZ offer?
Prepaid
One NZ’s MyFlex prepay plans allow you to customise your text, minutes, and data allocations. The plans below are default suggestions, provided by One NZ, but they can all be customised to better suit your needs. However, note that changing the mix of text/talk and data can alter pricing.
For example, reducing the text allowance on the $16 plan to 100 texts while increasing the data allowance to 1.25GB changes the price to $18.

Do One NZ’s phone plans offer value for money?
One NZ is not a no-frills provider like Skinny, and its prepaid phone plans are in line with those from Spark and 2degrees, and come with the offer of rewards and daily deals, etc. The fact you can mix and match your data/call/text requirements is a good feature that allows you to fit your prepaid plan to your phone habits to ensure you’re only paying for what you need.
One NZ’s monthly plans sit mid-table when it comes to their pricing and the cost of adding companion plans, and the max data caps on its lower priced plans do appear a bit stingy. But the two more expensive plans do come with the distinction of offering texts and over four hours of voice calls per month to a wide range of international destinations.
Prices correct as of 27/06/2025.
