From Mid-December 2025, mobile providers across Aotearoa will be switching off their 3G networks to make way for faster, more reliable 4G and 5G services.

By the end of 2025, mobile providers across Aotearoa will be switching off their 3G networks to make way for faster, more reliable 4G and 5G services. While this change will bring better coverage and performance in the long run, we know it might mean an unexpected upgrade for some customers—and that can feel like a big step.
If your current mobile phone or device relies on 3G, you will no longer be able to connect to a New Zealand 3G network once the 3G network is switched off. That’s why now is a good time to check if you’re 4G or 5G ready.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
