Do I need a mobile phone (cell phone) while in New Zealand?



Welcome to PICKAPICKER.CO.NZ blog

If you are planning to do Seasonal Work while in New Zealand ideally you will buy a cell phone.

The two main cell phone carriers in New Zealand are Telecom and Vodafone.

Vodafone offers your cell phones with SIM card, meaning if you change your phone down the track you can easily move all your contacts by just changing the SIM card.

These 2 carriers and others like Telstra offer different plans and options, including PrePay so you can be in control of the money you spend.

Seasonal Employers are always on the move, one minute in the office, the next one in the orchard, the next one driving to the pack houses, etc
By having a cell phone available they can locate you easily on your cell phone and most important you can text and call them as well.

When registering with us as a Seasonal Worker with pickapicker.co.nz you can specify your cell phone so you can also receive alerts on your MSN.

Most of our Registered Employers state their cell phone as the main point of contact.

Please note that Employers can only contact workers that have selected their region as a region of interest.
Please keep your details updated including your mobile phone number and regions of New Zealand where you are keen to have a seasonal work experience.
There are hundreds of thinning, picking and packing options available during the upcoming months so registering with us NOW to make the most out of it!
