    Default Two Questions, One Post. (X-Box 360 Slim & HTC Desire)

    Hello all,

    Like the title says I have two main questions:

    1) I'm in the process of checking all of the voltages on my electronics before the move. As it turns out, everything except for my North American X-Box 360 Slim will just need a plug adapter. All of my research says that I will need a voltage transformer to make it work in NZ, but I was wondering if I could just buy a New Zealand X-Box 360 Slim AC Power Supply Adapter?

    Here's a link to what I mean:

    2) I'm getting my HTC Desire unlocked as I want to continue to use it in NZ. I'm looking to get a prepay type plan when I get there and my research tells me I just need to get a New Zealand SIM card and I'm good to go. Can I just get a cheap prepay plan and pop the SIM card in my phone? Also, anyone know any good prepay plans?

    I'm looking for something like this:

    Cheers!

    1) YES: a 240volt power adaptor for your Xbox should do

    2) YES: you can check 2degrees for prepay cellphone use. http://www.2degreesmobile.co.nz/home
    - I believe Vodaphone charges like $30 for a sim card. When 2 degrees was starting out, they were sending free SIM cards in the mail.

    Thanks for the answers Super BQ. 2degrees looks to be a lot cheaper than vodaphone, I'll definitely check them out.

    Cheers
