FAQs

Why do I remove the leading 0 when calling New Zealand? ▾

In domestic formats, a leading 0 is often used as a trunk prefix. When dialing internationally after +64, you typically omit that 0.

Should I use exit codes (00/011) or plus dialing (+)? ▾

Plus dialing (+64) is usually easiest on mobile. On some landlines, you may need your country’s exit code. If one fails, try the other.
