Zero Data–Essential websites you can browse Data-Free!
Did you know you can access multiple governmental, school and other essential websites even if you’re out of mobile data?
All you need is a device connected to the Spark, Skinny, One NZ, 2degrees, Warehouse Mobile, Slingshot or Orcon mobile networks. The purpose of Zero Data is to ensure all New Zealanders can access essential information and digital services.
Just make sure your mobile data is turned on before you visit Zero Data–you’ll see a green ribbon across the top of the website.
Visit zero.govt.nz to see the full range of websites you can access for free.
Zero Data is a joint initiative between several government agencies, including ACC, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, Kāinga Ora, the Ministry of Social Development and the Department of Internal Affairs.
