Topping Up

It's best to top up with plenty of credit to see you through your trip, but if you need to top up abroad you can top up online with your credit card through My Warehouse Mobile, or call +64 284 800 800 to do it over the phone.

Connection issues?

Set your network mode to 'Auto'. If you're experiencing connection issues then make sure your Network search mode is on 'Auto' which is found under 'Settings' and then 'Network' on your phone (or 'Carrier' on iPhones). If this doesn't fix the issue, then remove your phone battery (iPhone users power off) for 1 minute if you still can't connect.

The USA or Canada can be a little different

North American mobile networks run on 850MHz and 1900MHz, so check your phone will run on one of these before you hop on the plane.

Calling Customer Care or your voicemail whilst overseas is charged on a per-minute basis like any other international call.
