Hi, can i check which phone option is best for nz road trips? Buy the local sim or I'm thinking of using starhub data travel. Any feedback on these or any other options? I'll be renting a motorhome that gives 1gb wifi but reviews say that it's patchy. I need the phone mainly to call ahead to confirm...

Just sharing with you that there are 2 discount cards that you might want to consider esp if you intend to go for packages or stay at holiday parks. One is the kiwi card that costs nzd35 n the other is top 10 card that costs nzd49. Both valid for 2 yrs. It's 10% disc for most activities n accommodat...

I just checked with POSB & they say they charge a fee of S$5 for each overseas withdrawal. If the exchange rate is similar to Spore or be...
