Emergency
We’ll ensure One New Zealand customers are safe during an emergency, so anyone with an appropriate One New Zealand phone will be able to call 111 in an emergency (when voice satellite calling is available). One New Zealand has dedicated part of its mid-band spectrum to enable the service.

This says its only One (formerly Vodafone) customers.
edit: I notice the FAQ says something different and contradictory (which is what the parent mentioned), I wonder which is the truth?
- mlyle 4y agoIt doesn't say it's only One... it just mentions it works for One and thus vaguely implies it doesn't work for others. The FAQ makes it explicit that all phones that support the band will be able to dial 111.
- Humphrey 3y agoThe way I read this was: anybody with a phone with support for the same 4g/5g frequencies that One operate one. Frequencies have always been an issue with choosing a phone. I remember Telstra (Australia) rolled out a great 3g network (branded NextG) you needed a phone that supported 850mhz 3g. Early on, there were only a small set of phones that worked on this range. I suspect (guess) that the same will be for this satellite 4G service.
