Changing Plans

In your My Mobile portal you can change plans through the plans section


You can either change your plan immediately or from your next bill date. If you change your plan immediately, your bill date will change also. Any unused minutes or data from your old plan will carry over to your new plan and will be used first. If unused they will expire at the same time your original plan was set to expire.

If you would like to see a list of plans we have available check out this page.

Unfortunately Slingshot mobile does not have a toll bar feature. If you run out of calling minutes in your plan you will start to be charged a casual per min rate.

Please note that 0900 numbers and Text to Park services are automatically blocked when you're activated on Slingshot Mobile. 

To cancel your mobile plan can be one of two ways, a new provider can request the number and cancel the Slingshot mobile at the same time or you can cancel it by contacting us (canceling by contacting Slingshot means you will lose the mobile number you currently have)

How Slingshot mobile billing works

Slingshot mobiles are pre-paid (so canceling partway through the month won't get your plan credited it will just be lost)

1. • To make the most of the last month check your rollover date in the mobile portal.
   • Have the cancellation/porting request for the day before it rolls over. This way you get the full pre-paid month from Slingshot and you won't get another bill from us incorrectly.

Switching to another mobile provider?

If you transfer your mobile number to another provider, all you need to do is place a request with your new provider to port your mobile number over (this can not be raised from our side), your mobile plan/sim with Slingshot will stop working as soon as the port completes.

Just want your mobile canceled?

You can do this by contacting us by email (click here), Alternatively, please give us a call on 0800 89 2000 and one of our friendly staff will assist you with closing your account.

When you cancel, your mobile services will stop as soon as the request is made (so remember if you want the remainder of your current plan please check when your rollover date is and cancel it the day before this).

Your current Slingshot mobile number will be lost and after 14 days any rollover data you have accumulated will expire.

If you change your mind about canceling you can log back into the mobile portal and purchase a new plan bundle to re-activate.

Some handsets allow you to block certain numbers from texting your phone. You can check whether this facility is available in your mobile's instruction manual.

If your phone doesn't offer this facility and the texts you're receiving are threatening or malicious give us a ring on 0800 89 2000 and we will investigate the messages for you. Here at Slingshot we believe that text-bullying is a very serious matter and we treat it as such.

Absolutely! If you have used all of the included minutes or data in your base plan, you can continue to top-up additional data or calling add-ons to suit your usage.

Please be aware that all add-ons purchased will appear on your next Slingshot invoice and any un-used minutes or data will expire after 30 days.

Another thing to consider if you are one of the cheaper mobile plans is that it might be more cost effective to just upgrade your monthly recurring plan to one that includes more data or minutes.

There is a hidden limit on the amount of top-ups and changes you can make per month; however it is high enough that most customers shouldn’t hit this through regular use.

First of all, give us a call on 0800 89 2000 and we will organise to have your old SIM card blocked so no calls, texts, or Internet surfing can be used on your account. At the same time we will request a new SIM card to be dispatched to you; however this may take between 2 and 3 working days to arrive in the post.

Please note that you are liable for any charges that are incurred before the SIM card is blocked.

[Please Note] You'll have an option to record both an "Answer Service" message and a "Voicemail" message. If you select Answer Service the message you record will be played to your caller and the call will be disconnected. If you're wanting people to be able to leave you a message then record a Voicemail message instead. 

Slingshot run our mobile services over Spark's mobile network. To check if your mobile handset is compatible with our services you'll need to grab its IMEI number.

This number can be found under the battery on your mobile.

Also, on most phones, the IMEI number will be displayed if you enter:

• *#06#

The IMEI number is also known as the serial number and will be 15 digits long.

Once you've found your number enter it in to Spark's Handset Compatability Tool here and that should tell you whether or not your phone will work!

You can track your data usage, minutes, and SMS messages used on your Slingshot Mobile account by logging in to mobile.slingshot.co.nz and clicking on the "Usage" tab at the top of the page. We've put together the following key to help you understand some of the labels that may come up so you can better manage your mobile usage. 

• DATA – All data usage on your Slingshot mobile plan will be tracked live and rounded to the nearest MB. Total Used indicates the total rounded amount dedicated from your mobile plans data limit.
• Voice_MO - Voice Mobile Originating – Calls made from your Slingshot mobile to another numbers. Total Used will reflect the total minutes deducted from your plans allocated calling minutes. 
• Voice_MF  - Voice Mobile Forwarded – Calls forwarded to your Slingshot mobile voicemail. Total Used should remain zero as voicemails do not count towards your plans calling minutes.
• Voice_MT  - Voice Mobile Terminating – Calls received on your Slingshot mobile. Total Used should be zero as incoming calls do not count towards your allowance (Note: Incoming calls are charged to roaming pack minutes when roaming overseas).
• SMS_MO - Mobile Originated Short Message – Outgoing SMS messages and the number messaged will be tracked. Total Used will indicate the number of messages sent, however all Slingshot mobile plans have Unlimited texts (excluding the Data Only plan).
