sad to say it will work if you are int eh boonies and your the only game in town.
And this is how it is if you are in New Zealand, there is NO unlimited Internet use..you pay for it based upon how much you download...there is no other method and there are like 2 or 3 ISP for the whole Country with Telecom (who are the Main land Line provider - Clear being the Only Other one)...so get used to the idea of paying for what you download...its a real money earner...and Telecom Start at a 3GB..YES 3 GIG..at $39.95 a month WITH a capped DL Speed too - UNcapped speed is limited to 128Kbps...their max plan is 50gig a moth for $150 and 2cents for every Megabyte over that...but hey...on the plus side...

in NZ you can receive Calls and Txts Free on your cell...you dont pay if someone rings you...
