All this information is just a visual guide of the expected 3G mobile voice and data coverage areas for XT. We can't guarantee actual coverage at any one place as there are many things that can affect a mobile signal and the services of our network, including the local geography and surroundings, building types, and demand on our network from other people.
How to read the maps
Good coverage
This is where our coverage should be 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.
Limited coverage
You should still be able to get some signal in these areas. If you can't, try taking your mobile outdoors, or try 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.
