If you'll be in the Urban areas of Auckland you'll find coverage is
pretty solid on all the networks. I carry a Vodafone mobile and a
Spark (so, same as Skinny) mobile routinely (personal, work) and
though there is some variability, it's impossible to say which
you'll find better without actually testing it in-situ.<br>
<br>
If you plan to travel outside the main centres while you're in NZ,
I'd stick with one of the larger networks (Spark or VF).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div dir="ltr">The most cost-effective from my research appeared
to be Skinny - 1800MHz 4G over the Spark network, with good
coverage in Auckland[1].
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They also do 7 day plans, with the "data" plan being 400mb
for $4 and addons of $8 per 600mb with 7 day expiry[2] (plus
cost of SIM).<br>

<div>Any NZ locals able to weigh in though? Quality is as
important as allowance/price.<br>
