NZ Mobile Phone SIM
You can get a Vodaphone pay-as-you-go mobile phone SIM card from http://the-internet-shop.co.uk/SIM_Cards/sim_cards.html
Sounds like a good deal, if you're planning a visit. Has anyone used this company to get a SIM?

A bit pricey though, at £32.45!! That's NZ$90 at an exch rate of $2.8 to the quid - they're $35.00 here in NZ.
If you need to get a NZ number pretty sharpish on arrival, bring your (unlocked) UK mobile - Vodafone have a shop that sells them in the arrivals hall at Auckland int. airport.
And if you're desperate for some reason to have one before u leave - I'd be happy to post one over - cost: a pint + the $35 lol

I got a vodaphone sim the day after I arrived in NZ for my trip, It cost about $34 and as long as I top it up again by the same time next year, it stays active, the call rates were very reasonable and I had good coverage.

$35 and a pint sounds very good value!
