How to Get Free Money on My Telecom Cell Phone

In New Zealand, telecom is one of a few national cell phone service providers. The Wellington and Auckland based company runs a high-speed network in addition to its regular service, the XT Network. To get free credit on your pre-paid Telecom cell phone, there are several ways, including taking advantage of promotions and offers run by the company. This is a frugal way to maximize value you can get from your cell phone.

Instructions

1

Add between $20 and $60 of credit to your Telecom XT cell phone at a time. The higher amount you pay, the greater amount of free credit you will receive. For example, if you add $40 to your Telecom XT cell phone you will receive $10 free credit with 25 percent of the addition. But add $60 and you will receive $20 free credit with 33 percent of your $60. This offer is only available to "One Rate Prepaid" customers on the Telecom XT network.

2

Register your existing prepaid Telecom cell phone online. Telecom offers $10 free credit to customers who choose to register their cell phone number and contact information via the company's website. This offer is available only once for each cell phone. Once your phone is registered, Telecom will send you a text message containing a voucher number. Write the number down, dial "*333" and press 1, then 1 again. Enter the voucher number when prompted.

3

Switch your iPhone 3, 3G or 4 from Vodafone New Zealand to Telecom XT and sign up for a 24 month or longer One Rate 180 plan. Telecom will apply $600 free credit to your account and double the amount of free minutes available on your plan for two years. The offer is not available online, so you will have to visit a Telecom store or call 800-662-435.
