New Zealand XT Mobile Coverage
Our XT Mobile Network is world-class delivering 3G coverage to New Zealanders.
New Zealand has one of the most beautiful environments in the world, and we're as proud of it as you are. Our unique geography, including the hills and water and large empty spaces, does create some challenges for mobile signal reception, though.
So we've taken the terrain and the locations of our cell towers into account and created maps of how far our XT Mobile Network reaches. Enter your location, or use the map to zoom.
All this information is just a visual guide to the 3G mobile voice and data coverage areas for our XT Mobile Network. There are many things that can affect a mobile signal and the services of our XT Mobile Network, including the local geography and surroundings, building types, and demand on our network from other people.
Here's how to read the maps
Good coverage
This is where our coverage is at its strongest. You should be able to use your mobile anywhere, even indoors or in built-up areas.
Fair coverage
For the most reliable service in these areas you might be better to use your mobile outdoors. If you're on the water, remember you'll get a better signal if you're up on deck.
Limited coverage
You should still be able to get a signal in these areas. If you can't, try taking your mobile outdoors and if you're on the water you'll need to attach an extension aerial.
Safety first
As Kiwis, we love getting out and about so please remember to be safe:
- If you're heading into the bush or high country, then we recommend you don't rely on your mobile phone, but take alternatives like mountain radios or a satellite phone, just in case.
- If you're going out on the water, there are even more factors that can affect your mobile signal, so please be safe and follow the Maritime New Zealand standards by carrying marine VHF as your primary means of communication.
