"Good coverage" is meaningless: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/coverage/ (in fact the only networks are EE, 3, O2 and Vodafone).
So is "lots".

Free texts to NZ? You are dreaming, but with Lyca it's 2p/19p per minute and 15p/text.0 -
giffgaff is probably the best for that. 2p per minute to call an NZ landline, 6p for a mobile and 8p per text.
10p a minute for UK to UK calls and 6p per text.0 -
Could you use WhatsApp or Viber to 'text'??0
