Yes but with $40 of Kia-Ora I can have 1025 minutes of talk time to use in NZ and abroad any time day or night and there is no time limit on when you use the minutes whereas if you don't use your $40 each month you lose out. So $40 may last me 3 or 4 months ringing to the UK and USA once or twice a week!! When I go away for a weekend as long as I have my access and pin number I can even call from someone else's phone and it doesn't cost anything for them.

Also tax deductable. Don't think phone cards would be.
