Wave Goodbye to Expensive International Calls: Skinny Mobile

MEDIA ALERT JUNE 2013

Wave Goodbye to Expensive International Calls with Skinny Mobile

In today’s expensive world, it’s not often you find many things you can buy for under $1 - unless of course you’re a Skinny Mobile customer. Skinny has just announced new super-skinny international calling rates, so when you’re signed up to an active $4 a week combo, you can now make 16 minutes worth of international calls for less than $1 to a selection of countries as far a field as the USA.

At just 6c per minute, Skinny customers don’t have to watch the clock when making international calls to landlines and mobiles in destinations including the USA, Canada and China.*

With an estimated 600,000** Kiwi’s living around the world, 147,570 Chinese and 104,583 Indians living in New Zealand***, there’s no doubt people are on the move. Skinny hopes their super-cheap international calling rates will not only bring a smile to the face of thousands, but will bring friends and families, wherever they may be, closer together.

So what does $1 buy exactly?
• - A bag of lollies from the dairy
• - A pack of chewing gum
• - A plastic pencil sharpener
• - A single peanut
• - Or a great catch up with a loved one

Paul Taylor, Skinny Mobile CEO, says: “At Skinny, we have cut back our costs so we can save customers money by providing them with wholesome deals that no other mobile phone provider is willing to offer.

“You won’t find us wasting money on global sponsorship deals, fancy buildings or celebrity spokespeople because we’re all about giving great value back to the most important people – our customers!
