Roaming in New Zealand

What are my options to roam with my Apple 6 in New Zealand?

You can get a local SIM in New Zealand or use Verizon's roaming plan for $40.
Global Roaming | Verizon Wireless
You can use the iPhone 6 4G LTE 16GB Space Gray for voice, text and data in all selected countries. Before you travel, contact Verizon Wireless by dialing *611 from your wireless device or (800)922-0204 from any phone to enable international roaming. I would not use free buy as you since this is risky for a big unintended bill in the thousands

Setting up a Apple Airport Extreme to work on the Telecom New Zealand Broadband network?

Has anyone had any success in setting up their airport extreme to work on the Telecom New Zealand broadband network without having to connect it to the modem which NZ Telecom supply?
Any advice and tips would be welcomed!

1. Since a "router" is needed next to the cable modem and before the ethernet switch, should we put the new Extreme in that basement location? Or, should we instead put the new Extreme somewhere on the main floor of the house (connected by ethernet) and leave the old one where it is?
Assuming the older Extreme is no older than Gen3 or Gen4 it is a perfectly adequate router for the speeds that cable will generally give you.
And therefore it is best to bridge the new AC extreme and use it upstairs via ethernet. That will then give you the best wireless in the most suitable area of the house.
2. Should we somehow bridge the two Airport Extremes (the old one and the new one) into one wireless network?
Yes, what is called roaming network. Both units create a wireless network.
You simply setup same name and same security/password on all the devices for wireless. The wireless channels are the differentiator.. and you can either leave that on auto or take some control over it and set manually. I would be inclined to do it manually just because the AC wireless needs the 149 channel for high speed AC.. so you do not want the old Extreme in the basement using that. Force that one to channel 36 or 40. However it is likely to work itself out ok on auto.. but I recommend you check it.
The apple docos on roaming are rather ancient..
Here is a post with newer info.
Setting Up Roaming - New AirPort Extremes and Utility
3. Should we go a further step and also bridge in one or both of the old Airport Express units, perhaps on the top floor of the house for example?
Yes, if you have a black spot with poor wireless you can add the Express to help. The old ones are single band and will probably work better at 2.4ghz but whatever suits you.. perhaps setup one on 2.4ghz and one on 5ghz.

Have just arrived in New Zealand, and have connected to local wi fi network with go signal strength, but phone keeps saying no service? Any idea what to do?

Have just arrived in New Zealand, have connected through local wi fi network, have good signal strength, but phone says no service, cant send texts out! any ideas?

Text messages are sent via the cellular network, not wi-fi. Only iMessages are sent via wi-fi. Unless you have roaming turned on for the phone, or you have an unlocked phone that you installed a local SIM, you would continue to see No Service. That reflects your cellular carrier service. Connecting to wi-fi has no bearing on your cellular service, which is what displays on the status bar of the phone near the signal bars (circles/dots).

I purchased an iPad2 in the US. What do I need to charge & use it in Australia & New Zealand?

I purchased an iPad2 in the US. What do I need to use it & charge it while traveling in Australia & New Zealand?

If it's 3G, and the AT&T version, then you will need local micro-sims in those 2 countries if you want to be able to use 3G whilst there (and avoid potenial roaming costs with AT&T).
For charging you should just need plug adapters - my UK charger has 100 to 240 v (50 and 60hz) in faint grey writing on it, and I believe both NZ and Australia are 230 V 50 hz so you shouldn't need a converter.

GST in New Zealand

I'm a little puzzled.
The Apple site clearly says that the price/fee for a non-warranty repair for an iPhone is $244 including GST.
However, Apple's agents for non-warranty repairs (in the joint form of Vodafone, DS Wireless, and Brightpoint) inist on charging GST on top of the $244.
I've checked this with several stores and Brightpoint themselves, and it has been my personal experience too.. So the behaviour seems pretty widespread
But isn't that counter to the the various legislation in New Zealand on displaying prices? Does anyone know for sure? Anyway, I've asked the Commerce Commission for clarity on the situation as it seems wrong to me. I wonder if I'm missing something.
It also seems strange that Brightpoint inists that repairs go through Vodafone (even of out-of-warranty repairs of a phone not purchaed from Vodafone), and that there is an extra $50 handling-fee for the store to 'facilitate' the repair.
Is it true that under NZ law, the Commerce Commission does not need to sort out who is responsible; they can hold all the parties (Apple, Vodafone, DS Wireless, and Brightpoint) libable and then leave them to sue one another to settle the issue of specific libability.

Mid Year Go Live-Australia and New Zealand

Hi,
We are implementing Mid Year Go Live for payroll for Australia and New Zealand.
In case of India, we have schema INLK and list of technical wage types that need to be uploaded to T558B and T558C.
SAP has delivered a note for Payroll India which gives the list of Technical wage types.
Pls suggest what are the technical wage types to be uploaded for Australia and New Zealand and the schema to be used for Mid Year Go Live.
Regards
Yashika

Hi,
as far as i know, there is no such schema or special wage types except the ones that are used for LSMW before go live.
In india, they might need the schema or technical wagetypes for the taxation purposes i guess which is different from AU or NZ.
but australia/newzealand have simplified the taxation for software provides.
Regards,
LG

Hi. Im currently living in New Zealand. Just bought an iphone 5s yesterday from a shop called Parallel Brand Imports in Auckland. When i came home i called apple to check whether my phone is locked or not and they said that its locked to US Verizon even t

When i came home i called apple to check whether my phone is locked or not and they said that its locked to US Verizon even though when i checked on iphoneimei it said sim status unknown. I put my 2degrees (NZ carrier) in today and it worked fine. I got into the settings and turned off the automatically part of carrier and there were 3 options for me to choose 2degrees vodafone and telecom. Because of that, im quite confused abt whether my phone is locked or not since im from vietnam so i want to know if i can use vietnamese sim card when i go home. Thanks for your help@verizon

Hi tranvietanh - I appreciate you contacting us all the way from New Zealand! I can confirm that the iPhone 5s and all of our other 4G LTE device are not SIM locked. As the carrier in New Zealand may not support the exact same frequencies and cellular bands that we use on our network, we are unable to support the device if using a 3rd party SIM.
Thank you,

Why do I get the message when I try to purchase an app or song on itunes using my iPhone5? "Account Not In This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the New Zealand store before purchasing."

When I try to buy either an app or a song via iTunes, I have just started getting the following message and I am unable to change the store location. "Account Not In This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the New Zealand store before purchasing."
This problem has only just started happening. I am on an iPhone5 iOS 7.0.4.
Very frustrating. Can someone please tell me why & where the change has occured and how to fix it? In the past I have purchased many apps and songs on itunes and never had this problem.
Thanks a mill :-)

How to use Mac Mini's and HD Freeview to capture raw TV satellite feeds in NEW ZEALAND?

Hello, this is my first post on this kind of forum - I am not very tech savy so go easy on me! Ideally I am hoping someone can offer some constructive advice.
I am part of a business that captures television off air as part of an ongoing contract. The system was implemented years ago and consists of 12 capture chains which are set-top cable boxes. They are a mix of Freeview NZ (free) and Sky TV (pay) - both on Satellite (Optus B1 I believe). The boxes are connected to Eye TV 250 boxes which are running through mini mac's (Mac OS X 10.5.4) that all have 1TB drives attached.
We are capturing two hour scheduled harvest stream blocks, and editing the individual programmes out manually, for an average of 15 hours - equivalent to 27GB, per capture chain, per day. While this system works ok it is very labour intensive and we would like to make the system more automated. There are also a few issues which I would really appreciate some guidance or suggestions on:
1/ Eye TV turns the digital signal from the decoder to analog and then back out to digital again because we are using S-video composite cables. Ideally we would like to capture HD Raw signal with little or no compression at all. We could upgrade to the Eye TV HD box but would prefer not to because.....
2/ ...Eye TV creates a proprietary file format (Eye TV specific file) that requires exportation to play in QT or VLC and while you can export as MP4 this takes a considerable amount of time. Up to 7 hours for 1 hour of capture - far to slow for our requirements. Therefore we export as a Mpeg Program Stream which slightly compresses the file and spits out an Mpeg 2. IDEALLY we would be creating H.264 files
3/ We can only export up to 2 hours, 15 minutes of capture (any more than that and the file goes dead (black) from that point on).
4/ Because we are in little old NZ, Eye TV (North American) won't pick up the local EPG (Electronic Programming Guide). This means all the scheduling has to be done manually and the meta data is not captured.
So ultimately we would like a system that captures television with little or no compression of the digital signal, in an H.264 format, with the New Zealand EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) available for both scheduling and metadata, that fits within a Mac system, is not Eye TV (or does not create software specific files) AND is cost effective.
Goodluck.

Hello & welcome to the foruns!
Maybe I can help with one facet...
Just a quick note for people who use Elgato’s EyeTV on their Macs in New Zealand. I’ve got an Automator script here that will fetch a TV schedule and load it into EyeTV. It takes care of deleting the file it downloads but you might need to open it (use the Automator program) to change where it downloads to.

Need to be "released" from Veizon Blackberry Server to get BIS in New Zealand??

I have a Verizon Blackberry Tour that has been unlocked. I am now with Vodafone New New Zealand and have registered for Blackberry Internt Service with Vodafone. It does not currently work - Vodafone tells me that the phone is registered on Verizon's Blackberry server and I need to contact Verizon to have it released from their server before Vodafone can provide me with BIS. Verizon tells me that because I never had a plan with them, the phone is not registered on their server (not sure I believe that, but....). Verizon has told me to contact Blackberry as the phone would have to be released from a Blackberry server. This doesn't make sense to me ... but I can't seem to find a way to talk to someone at Blackberry to find out. Can anyone help?

It makes sense to me, in that whoever used the device prior to you, did not "remove" the PIN from their account. Hence, the device remains registered on the previous account.
Verizon will need to do this. RIM doesn't do this. It is a common question asked here of users purchasing used devices. Call Verizon.

I'm Emigrating from the UK to New Zealand and don't want to lose my stuff.

Hey all,
I'm emigrating to New Zealand on Monday (I've left it late, I know), and I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone which I intend to basically use as an iPod Touch for the forseeable future.
I've downloaded hundereds of apps, lots of music and some video and I'm wondering how I can have that all available to me in NZ? Should I try to put it on a hard drive? Will I just be able to access it on the iCloud? What about when I get a new bank account etc, and need to transfer my iTunes account to NZ - will I lose my stuff then or what?! Obviously it's cost me a few quid over the years so I would not be happy about losing all my apps!
I'd be very grateful if anyone had any ideas...
Thanks
Danzish

I see no-one replied to this, but I'm about to do something similar, I and my partner are of to Oz, and we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones between us - will they work in Oz? Did all your stuff transfer okay?

A UK calendar has appeared on my phone. I live in New Zealand and don't need a reminder of the Battle of the Boyne! How do I get rid of it (why is it there)? There is no option to delete.

A UK calendar has appeared on my iPhone 5s. I live in New Zealand and don't need a reminder of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne!. It just appeared after the last update. No option to remove it in edit. How can I get rid of it? A New Zealand holiday calendar would be a help instead!

I have had no choice but tok reconfigure my computer and couldn't back up my itunes, how do i do this in new zealand, i have downloaded i cloud but this does not seem to work due to being outside the USA.

Currently you can only re-download music purchases in the US, it hasn't been rolled out to the rest of the world yet. Have you not got a backup of your purchases on external or flash drives or CDs/DVDs ? If so then you can copy that back onto your computer and add them to iTunes.
