Hey all,<div><br></div><div>I fly tomorrow morning to Queenstown.<br><div><br></div><div>People have recommended Skinny and TelecomXT.</div><div><br></div><div>Skinny&#39;s pricing is:�<a href="http://skinny.co.nz/2335_EN-Why_Skinny-Skinny_Pricing.htm">http://skinny.co.nz/2335_EN-Why_Skinny-Skinny_Pricing.htm</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>Telecom XT is:�<a href="http://www.telecom.co.nz/mobile/mobile/plansandpricing/prepaid/">http://www.telecom.co.nz/mobile/mobile/plansandpricing/prepaid/</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Is it just me or is this the most pathetic options I&#39;ve ever seen?</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m used to be able to get pre-paid data in Australia, like 12Gig or $120 or something.</div><div><br></div><div>These plans are offering tiny little megs...�</div><div><br></div><div>$18 for 500mb on Telecom</div>

<div><br></div><div>Skinny is terrible for data.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe I am not looking at the right thing. �I have multiple modems or I can use and only really want a Sim card - unless mine wont work and I need to buy one... whatever.</div>

<div><br></div><div>The best I can see is:�<a href="http://www.telecom.co.nz/internet/mobilebroadband/plansandpricing/prepaid/">http://www.telecom.co.nz/internet/mobilebroadband/plansandpricing/prepaid/</a> �3G for $60. �Is there anything better than this? I am hoping to find bigger plans - or is this the best I am going to get?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Anyone know where to buy these pre-paid sims in Queenstown?</div><div><br></div><div>Also, is it ok for Aussies to get these?</div><div><br></div><div>I am thinking of:</div><div><br></div><div>- One of these:�<a href="http://store.telecom.co.nz/mobile/prepaid/mobilebroadband/huawei-mobile-hotspot#plans-pricing">http://store.telecom.co.nz/mobile/prepaid/mobilebroadband/huawei-mobile-hotspot#plans-pricing</a></div>

<div>- Then the Sim</div><div>- Then the $60 plan for 3Gig...�</div><div><br></div><div>Or is there some better options?</div><div><br></div><div>Can I take a spare iPhone5 and get a nano-sim+plan and do it that way?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>...Skeeve</div><div><br></div><div><div><div><font face="Calibri"><b><br></b></font></div><div><b style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px">Skeeve Stevens, CEO -�</b><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px">eintellego Pty Ltd</span></div>
