Check unknown NZ numbers with recent reports (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton) and share your experience.
Unsure about a New Zealand number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton you’ll see a mix of legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 09 (Auckland), 04 (Wellington), 03 (Christchurch), 07 (Hamilton) and 02x mobile ranges don’t reliably prove location or identity because of portability and VoIP.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.
I got three calls today with no voicemail; when I tried returning, the line was disconnected. Clearly a scam—block it and ignore any future rings.
A telemarketing agent attempted to market life‑insurance services, acting as if my time was owed and hanging up immediately when no sale was possible—poor phone etiquette.

No. Portability/VoIP make 09/04/03/07 and 02x ranges unreliable as proof of origin.
