2degrees

2degrees is a telecommunications provider operating in New Zealand. The mobile network launched on 4 August 2009 after 9 years of planning. 2degrees offers prepaid and pay monthly monthly mobile services as well as fixed-line phone and broadband services.

It has spent over NZ$250 million building its mobile network, which now covers Ashburton, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton, Hastings, Invercargill, Levin, Napier, Nelson, Oamaru, Palmerston North, Queenstown, Rotorua, Taupo, Tauranga, Timaru, Wanganui, Wellington and Whangarei. The network works with GSM-900, UMTS-900 and UMTS-2100 mobiles, similar to the competing Vodafone network. In areas without 2degrees coverage, handsets roam on Vodafone NZ's GSM and UMTS network. Areas where 2degrees has their own 3G coverage are known as "mobile broadband zones". 2degrees is United States, British and New Zealand owned.

In March 2015, 2degrees announced it had acquired Snap, a broadband-based ISP, and from 28 July began offering broadband and home phone services (in addition to existing mobile services).
