Rocket Mobile was once again named Best Value Mobile Provider at the 2025 NZ Compare Awards, marking the third consecutive year the company has taken home this award.
Rocket Mobile won the Best Value Mobile Provider at NZ Compare Awards 2025 and so the NZ Compare team hot footed it down to visit the Rocket Mobile Auckland office to present the award in person.
Popping past the office gave the team a chance to celebrate their achievement and hear firsthand how the company has continued to grow since its launch. The atmosphere was full of energy, reflecting the passion and dedication the Rocket Mobile team brings to delivering high-quality, affordable mobile plans to New Zealanders.
James Whittome, Rocket Mobile NZ’s Head of Mobile, says the recognition reflects both the company’s customer-first philosophy and the strong momentum it has built since launching.
“Winning for the third year in a row is an incredible endorsement from both the industry and our customers,” says Whittome. “It motivates us to keep innovating and delivering the best value mobile experience possible for Kiwis.”

Rocket Mobile was founded to offer New Zealanders a simple, transparent, and affordable alternative to the major mobile carriers. From its early days, the company has focused on delivering value plans, flexible options, and a customer experience that prioritises convenience and clarity. Over the years, it has built a loyal following, particularly among customers looking for reliable service without paying for extras they don’t need.
“It’s fantastic to see MVNOs like Rocket Mobile challenging the incumbent providers. In a market where inertia often keeps people locked into old plans, competition is key. New entrants give consumers real choice, and awards like this show that customers can find great value if they take the time to compare and switch.”
Gavin Male, CEO of NZ Compare
The NZ Compare Awards recognise providers who deliver exceptional value, service, and innovation in New Zealand’s mobile market. Rocket Mobile’s continued success highlights how MVNOs are shaking up the industry and giving Kiwis more options than ever before.
