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.
User feedback rates it as good and safe, FYI.
Received a phishing text pretending to be NZ Police, urging me to follow a link and provide payment details for a supposed fine.
Another unknown caller trying to sell something. I ignored it and blocked the number.
Sky's call was full of aggressive advertising—hard to listen to and I ended the call fast.
Someone attempted to swindle me by claiming I owed a traffic ticket, no joke.
Uma chamada chegou dizendo que ligava do Canadá, afirmando ser uma empresa.
Offers various business services, bro.
Another ping call from an unknown source. It sounded like a robo‑dialer and ended abruptly. I’ll ignore future attempts.
Alarm Watch called; they appear reliable and professional.
A broadband comparison firm called; they were super polite when I declined and the chat wrapped up in under a minute. Nice.
An aggressive advertising call from an unknown source tried to sell me something I don't need. I hung up quickly.
The caller disconnects as soon as I pick up. Earlier I received a morning text saying, "Kia ora, you will soon receive a call from Planned Care Waitlist Support. The call will show as 0800 923 366. Unmonitored – Please do not reply."
User notes say it's good, yeah.
Sky's aggressive ads are relentless—every time I answer, it's a hard sell. Feels more like a nuisance than a service.
Living in Australia, I first assumed a parent from Auckland was calling, but the callback went straight to a robot voicemail with zero details. Weird, huh?
Dette var en svindeltelefon, no kidding. Whoa.
User reported the service as good and safe.
User dropped a neutral note, nothing fancy. Just saying.

Caller type, purpose, date/time and cues that guided your decision.
