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.
Got a dubious call from NZ Assist, ignored it, then it rang a few times and dropped without any voice message.
Yet another Auckland/Waiheke‑area call that lasts about 30 seconds before dropping; I keep my phone muted while on night‑shift, and they call at odd daytime hours.
User-supplied warning
I requested that the caller not contact me again, but they continued to call.
Upon receiving a call from this number at 9pm on a Friday, claiming to be from emergency services, I declined their survey request and they asked to schedule a callback, which I agreed to, but now I'm avoiding their calls
The response was, i am sorry, this call is not suported by this phone system.
An Australian line rang, but no message was left; I've seen three similar calls from New Zealand over two days, each from a different number.
Looks like a scam: an automated message claimed I hadn’t paid my phone bill (the line is a prepaid mobile) and offered language options, then hung up after repeating the message.
The call was placed without leaving any message.
I suspect this was a scam or telemarketing attempt; I don’t know anyone in New Zealand.
Telemarketing for an investment service.
The caller didn't name a company, insisted my phone bill was overdue despite my prepaid plan, and asked me to dial a number to proceed with a payment.
While I was in Australia I received this call with no message left; it was the third such call in two days.
User notes: Bad + Caution
Just a silent ring, wasted my time.
User describes this as a positive interaction.
After I picked up, an automated message warned me of an overdue phone bill.
