Frequently Asked Questions
Which exit code does the USA use?
The USA exit code is 011, and it goes first on any international call from a US landline or mobile carrier. With Intercalling you can just use the + symbol instead.
What is the sequence to call Auckland from the USA?
For Auckland, enter 011 (exit code), then 64 (country code), then 9 (Auckland area code minus the 0), and finish with the 7-digit local number.
Should I include the 0 in front of the area code?
No. NZ area codes are printed with a leading zero such as 09, 04, or 03, but that zero is dropped whenever you call from overseas.
Is it possible to ring NZ mobiles?
Yes. New Zealand mobile numbers open with 02, for example 021 or 027. From the US you dial 011 + 64 + 2X XXX XXXX.
