Continuing on from my previous question, what is the cheapest carrier for phone and internet? I'm looking for one with cheap international calls. As a tourist, Im also interested in the equivalent of Telstra in NZ - coverage wise. Can anyone recommend good carriers from their experience?

I had a 2 degrees sim and I don't remember a time that I didn't have reception and I traveled to some pretty rural areas of the south island. I only had this for emergency situations though and i therefore didn't even put credit on it..
We just used $5 Vodafone Au roaming when we did South Island early this year. We didn't expect to get any network in the middle of the hills & forest, but otherwise we were quite satisfied with the service

They use the telecom nz network and their rates are awesome. We used them all on a roadtrip over the south island and they had great coverage.
Also they do either weekly combo's or monthly ones, so if you're only in NZ for a week they end up being really cheap — though the monthly combos include free calling to oz, see:
