Spark currently operates a payphone in outside the telephone exchange (next to the library and church). Wouldn't it be nice if they upgraded this to a free wifi hotspot.
Locals, and visitors, would be able to get up to 1GB free data usage each a day. This is what Spark says about who is eligible for free wifi.
Spark WiFi is free for Spark mobile customers on:
- Any pay-monthly plan (including Smart One Bill)
- The $19 or $29 prepaid packs
- Mobile Broadband Postpaid
If you don't fall into one of these groups you can try the service on a week's free trial. After that, you can purchase a WiFi pack for $9.95. The WiFi pack will give you access to 1GB of usage each day for 30 days on Spark WiFi hotspots across the country.
- Spark Digital mobile plans
You will need a New Zealand or Australian mobile phone number when registering. If you do not have a valid number, you can purchase a Spark SIM card for $5 from any Spark Retail Store
Some of our neighbouring communities, Maungaturoto and Mangawhai, have access to this at hotspots where their payphones are. Wouldn't it be great if we could get this too!
It would be really handy to have free wifi available to pay bills, look things up online, or even just to stay connected to our friends and family.
I have asked that they consider a hotspot for our town. It may help to get more people to request it, then they will know we want it.
Do you think this is something that Kaiwaka needs?
