2degrees poised to make mobile data statement
2degrees Mobile have been in touch today to let us know they are going to be holding a ‘press event’ tomorrow at midday at 4pm today. It is to be held at their head office in Auckland and they will be making a statement regarding “mobile data”.

What do you think 2degrees will announce? Let us know in the comments below.

2degrees data pricing not viable for iPhone users… yet.
Back when we launched, we spoke to 2degrees about their plans for the iPhone. They told us that they would let Vodafone and Telecom battle for that market, but that iPhone owners would still be welcome.
