Two Degrees Mobile Limited (as we are officially known) is New Zealand's newest full service telecommunications provider. 

Back in the 90s a visionary group of Maori challenged the crown through the Treaty of Waitangi and won the rights to 3G spectrum. Despite financial and regulatory adversity a Maori Trust (Hautaki) was established with the challenge of launching New Zealand’s third mobile network. 

Tex Edwards founded 2degrees in February 2001 and provided initial capital.  Later that year investments were made by Strive Masiyiwa’s Econet Wireless group and shortly afterwards the pan-Maori trust Hautaki.

After successfully advocating for critical regulatory realignment the company was fully capitalised in 2007 and construction of its mobile network began.

We commercially launched in 2009, significantly lowering the cost of mobile for Kiwis.

Tex Edwards sold his interests in 2degrees in 2016 after some 15 years of support for the company including as a senior executive, director and founding shareholder.

Since our launch we’ve been busy. We have the backing of a unique partnership of international and Kiwi investors that have enabled us to build a brand new mobile network, helping us to cover 98.5% of the places Kiwis live and work. In March 2015 we also acquired NZ's fourth largest ISP, and now offer broadband services as well as mobile to Kiwis across the country.

We've put in place a great team, led by our CEO Stewart Sherriff and an internationally experienced management team which has a wealth of experience in building and delivering excellent mobile telecommunication networks and services.

We all really believe in what we are trying to accomplish for our customers and New Zealand. We’ve even been lucky enough to be recognised for it along the way, with a number of awards for our customer service over the years.

And this is just the beginning...

Firstly, they take forever to get you connected. It took them over two weeks to connect my internet even when I already had fibre installed at the house and the ONT was set up and the fibre provider assured me it was fine from there end. Yet after being on hold with 2degrees for hours multiple times they told me they cannot do anything more to spend up the process. I have had multiple other companies connect me the same day I have made a request.
Secondly, their customer support is terrible. They will have a network outage and never provide any information to you. If you try to call them you will either be stuck on hold for hours or hang up on. Don't waste your time. The offers/prices may look good but they are not worth it. I have never had so much trouble with another company before. ...read more

To Whom It May concern.

After leaving Spark with no sensible satisfaction I thought 2 degrees may have more sense.
how wrong I was!!!! after 2 weeks of pain for simple connection (pug & play fibre broadband connection) all ready connected internally to the house!!! what a debacle.
What a waist of air,

After multiple calls - committing to a 12 month plan ---nothing! after the final chance and many frustrating hours spent on hold. I voted with my feet to Vodafone the team even stayed back after closes time to get me sorted internet given same day!!!
thank you team Vodafone customer service still lives!

I will tell everyone in my retirement village still being built to avoid 2 degrees and spark for that matter!

Please don’t bother with sorry we could have done better I already herd t 3 times!

I signed up for broadband on the 17 August 2022 as I moved house and don't have fibre, I was assured they could give me broadband, first modem didn't work, 2nd modem isn't working as they still have the sim card # on my account from the first modem, no one seems to give a shit, today is the 23rd August and I'm still waiting, I'm suppose to be working from home, but can't. The people in the shop in Napier don't want to know, they say they did everything right, the guy on the phone is saying something different, I just want the bloody thing to start working!! Your not getting paid until you get it working. ...read more
