Marine Coverage

Keen fisher folk, water-sport fanatics and boaties will now benefit from Vodafone's extended 3G coverage in many popular marine areas around New Zealand.

Across many fishing and recreational boating spots across the country, boat-lovers using Vodafone's network will have access to its extended 900 MHz 3G network up to 60kms from shore. In fact, in some places, Kiwis can enjoy coverage for up to 120kms from the coast - making it easier to stay in touch with friends and family while out for the day.

Find out more about extended 3G coverage at your local fishing spot and search your desired address by either typing in the GPS coordinates or if you are unsure of these look for the nearest landmark and type this in.
