New Zealand Country Code

New Zealand’s phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

New Zealand’s Country Code is +64

New Zealand’s country code is +64. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in New Zealand should dial New Zealand’s telephone country code (+64) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in New Zealand are ten digits long – a bbb bbbb, with a being the area code followed by the 7 digit local phone number. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in New Zealand using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including New Zealand.

Step 2. Dial 64, New Zealand’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter New Zealand’s area code. Don’t use the digit “0” when calling from outside of the country.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the national phone number you wish to call in New Zealand.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 64 a bbb bbbb (or +64 a bbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 64 a bbb bbbb

New Zealand’s area codes are one digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the digit “0” when calling overseas. Here are some New Zealand’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside New Zealand, you would have to dial first the exit code, then New Zealand’s country code 64. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Westport, this would be an example of a phone number: +64 3 bbb bbbb or 0064 3 bbb bbbb, and 011 3 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

New Zealand’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the three largest local mobile phone companies – Spark, Vodafone and 2Degrees.

The mobile phone numbers in New Zealand start with “2“, followed by seven to nine digits. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then New Zealand’s country code “64”, plus the phone number including the mobile code “2“.

For example, enter 011 64 2 bbbb bbbb or +64 2 bbbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

If you plan to travel to New Zealand it is important to be prepared when it comes to your health and safety. We recommend to save the phone numbers below in case you’ll need it.
