The Third Cellular Network in New Zealand

Just watched the six o'clock news on Channel 1 and found out that New Zealand will be having its third mobile phone network operated by TelstraClear and offering a Nokia 6275i. It will be officially launched tomorrow, Monday, 01 September, 2008. The new phone plan seems reasonable:

$20 per month access
29c per min national calling
500 national texts per month - any network
40c per min "Big 5" calling (Australia, USA, UK, Ireland and Canad)
FREE Nokia 6275i worth NZ$499

TelstraClear's Invitation Mobile Plan is available to ALL residential customers who have TelstraClear phone line, calling and broadband services.

The only draw back I can see now is the lack of best mate on TelstraClear's offer and no free call minutes

Hopefully, the new network will give the other two network operator a run for their money. Eventually, the winners will be the consumers

Homeland Security: Cook Island style!

Someone spotted this sign recently at the Cook Island Airport....

Attention Thieves....

Seeing this sign in Coatesville and you may wonders . . .

"Did they think locals stole the goods and will return them with questions unasked on becoming aware the stolen goods were not insured? Surely it is more than likely the burglars live miles away in another part of Auckland and will never read the notice. But maybe those stolen from are just naive - after all, they didn't think it necessary to insure!"

Driver: Watch out for bike!

The intent and purpose is meant for cyclist's safety;

but it is might be placed on the right location?
