The iPhone 17 release is creating a lot of buzz, and while we don’t sell phones ourselves, we think it’s worth taking a closer look at some of the deals out there.

RNZ has reported that some iPhone 17 bundles come with pricey, long-term contracts. Over time, you could end up paying much more than the value of the phone.

If you’re in the market for a new device, check the total cost over the whole contract, not just the upfront price. Sometimes you’ll save more by buying your phone outright or shopping around for a better plan.

A little homework now could save you plenty in the long run.

The number of people in financial difficulty after signing up for a more expensive phone plan is increasing, an expert says.

Hi everyone!
It’s been a full-on few weeks for our team, and we know some of you have waited longer than you’d like for a reply. We've been making some changes behind the scenes to keep things moving, so you don’t have to wait as long to hear from us. Our focus is on getting back to you quickly - whether you’re reaching out for support, asking a question, or just leaving a comment we may have missed. Every message matters.

If you need anything in the meantime, our team on Live Chat are ready to help, or you can send us a message right here and we’ll make sure someone follows up with you.

Thanks for your patience while we get back to everyone. We’re here for you, as always.
