What CallPlus does

CallPlus, operating as 2degrees Business, is a New Zealand-based telecommunications provider headquartered in Auckland. The firm, founded under the CallPlus umbrella in 1996 and operating its mobile network under the 2degrees brand (Two Degrees Mobile Limited) since 2001, employs 501–1,000 staff and runs a portfolio that spans consumer and business mobile plans (Pay Monthly from $60+/month), broadband (Fibre from $89/month, Hyperfibre, Wireless, Rural, and Starlink satellite), and a broad enterprise ICT stack including Cloud PBX, Microsoft Teams Calling, SIP Trunks, SD-WAN (Insight Network), Managed LAN/WiFi, Data Centres, Cloud Connect, Cloud Security, DDoS Protection, MDM, and Mobile-as-a-Service (MaaS). Underlying infrastructure covers mobile networks, fibre, wireless broadband, and cloud services.

The business model is overwhelmingly subscription-recurring across five streams — mobile plans, broadband, hardware sales (Samsung, Apple, OPPO devices on interest-free terms with trade-in), managed services, and enterprise ICT — billed monthly on monthly-to-24-month terms. Distribution is multi-channel: physical 2degrees retail stores across New Zealand, an online shop at 2degrees.nz, telesales, direct enterprise field sales for SMB, enterprise, and public-sector customers, plus partnership channels with Bunnings, NZ Chamber of Commerce, and Farm Source.

The customer base spans SMB, large enterprises, and public-sector organisations, with documented long-tenured relationships including managed network services for eStar since 2009 and telecommunications to Clutha District Council since 2016, alongside enterprise customers such as the University of Waikato (48% mobile cost reduction), NZ Health Group (full-population MaaS), FMG, and NZ Breakers. Leadership comprises Mark Callander (CEO), Annette Presley (Founder), and Malcolm Dick (Executive Chairman and Co-Founder). The company is privately held and does not disclose revenue, funding rounds, or ownership structure in the available material.

Broad incumbents

• Spark New Zealand: Largest New Zealand MNO and integrated telecommunications provider, offering consumer and business mobile, broadband, cloud, and managed ICT services. Directly competes with CallPlus/2degrees Business across mobile, broadband, and enterprise ICT, but at significantly larger scale and with broader consumer exposure.
• One New Zealand (formerly Vodafone NZ): One of New Zealand's three major MNOs, providing consumer and business mobile, broadband, and enterprise ICT services following the Vodafone brand transition. Direct competitor to CallPlus/2degrees Business in mobile, broadband, and enterprise segments.

Direct peers

• Kordia: New Zealand business-focused telecommunications and ICT provider offering managed networks, cloud connectivity, cybersecurity, and broadcast services. Directly comparable to the enterprise ICT and managed-services segment of CallPlus/2degrees Business.
• Vocus New Zealand: Vocus operates fibre, wholesale, and business connectivity services in New Zealand, competing with CallPlus/2degrees in enterprise fixed connectivity, broadband, and network services. Closely comparable in business-ICT focus and fibre/broadband portfolio mix.

Comparable as the underlying broadband infrastructure provider in NZ, even though Chorus is wholesale rather than retail.
