Hello! I'm hoping to take a backpacking trip to NZ, and am starting to make lists of what I will need.
I live in the USA, and have cell phone service with T-Mobile. Will I be able to use my phone in New Zealand, do I need to get a pre-paid phone upon arrival, or should I be asking the T-Mobile company instead?

If I'm just planning to call back a few times to family and friends, would it be better and easier to just use pay phones? Does New Zealand have pay phones?(that sounds awfully arrogant...)

Yeah check with your cell phone provider, if your phone is unlocked you could just buy a NZ sim card. Yeah we have phone boxes and cheap phone cards (avoid telecom cards), we even got power 3 years ago Smile
