Unknown calls in New Zealand
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.

Er helt møkklei på dette nummeret som også ringer på søndager, og som er listet under to firmaer – den ene med telefonsvarer. Jeg har meldt meg av telefonsalg, men det hjelper ikke mot disse gnagerne. Jeg foreslår å spre de ekte numrene og ringe dem når som helst, kanskje med et program som overbelaster systemet, lol. Ring Kantar Media 911 11 600.
