Read MoreXT Relaunched with 30-day risk free trial, Reynolds says “bugger!” [video]
After all of the outages on XT, Telecom have now relaunched their advertising campaign for XT which has been fronted by Telecom CEO Paul Reynolds.
They have also launched a “customer-friendly 30 day Risk Free Trial” which will enable users who sign up to an eligible 24 month plan when purchasing any XT mobile or Mobile Broadband T-Stick, to return the product within 30 days if they are not completely happy with their experience of XT – and receive a refund.
In this honest and comical ad Dr Reynolds confirms that XT is now finally fixed, saying “I reckon you should give XT a shot, it’s now working exactly as it should’ve done” and he pokes a bit of fun at Telecom which (although I’m sure some who were affected won’t find funny) is quite amusing and gives it the personal touch.

Skype 2.0 brings 3G calling to iPhone…. free until the end of the year [Updated]
Skype 2.0 has finally been released and with it comes free 3G calling. However those “free” calls will only be until the end of August 2010, after which you will have to pay a monthly subscription fee.
Although calling it “free” 3G calling in NZ is a bit if a white lie, cause lets face it with the high cost of data charges here it’s never going to be a free way of making calls. It may however work out to be cheaper to make international calls using 3G.
Hit the read more for the full list of 2.0 improvements [and the Update].…
