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.
Three calls arrived within three hours, each from a different "mobile service" number; I’m not a NZ resident but visited on holiday earlier this year, and this is the first time encountering such calls
I got three calls in the past three hours, each from a different “mobile service” number – this is one of them. I'm not a NZ resident; I only visited on holiday earlier this year, and this is my first experience with such calls.
Unknown caller, no significant interaction to report.
The recording announces an important call awaiting me and then music starts. Not expecting a callback, I hung up after about 30 seconds.
Calls keep coming in, and I have no idea who’s behind them.
Got three calls within three hours from rotating "mobile service" numbers, including this one; I'm not a NZ resident but visited recently, and it's my first experience with such calls.
Got a dial tone after I spoke, lol.
User rates this number as bad.
A call landed on 02/10/2024 at 1 pm about health‑and‑safety gear. Cold outreach, not cool. The voice was friendly, but I’m not taking unsolicited pitches, dude.
De ringte, hilste kort og la på.
Pet-n-sur insurance called and provided clear info about a policy. Felt professional and trustworthy.
Called claiming to be a donation helpline, but sounded like a telemarketer. I'd stay skeptical.

I chose not to pick it up, honestly.
Jay Sammut tried to lure me into a cost trap with hidden fees – stay clear of this one.
User feedback: unsatisfactory
I received a ring claiming I could win $5,000 from a Domino’s draw, asked about my KiwiSaver, and denied any bank link—clearly a dodgy scam attempt.
Use the official number from the company site/app and check in‑app messages; avoid calling back the unknown number.
No. Portability/VoIP make 09/04/03/07 and 02x ranges unreliable as proof of origin.
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; periodic robocalls, parcel/account phishing and scripted sales.
