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 comments: This is bad.
Receiving a letter lacking a clear sender is typically a scam or a solicitor's ploy, often addressed as 'To the occupier.' Inside, it asks, 'Do you know the whereabouts of…,' sounding like a criminal inquiry. Here, Telecom appears to be fishing for easy threat money, alleging you moved and left an unpaid debt. Not long ago in New Zealand, Telecom (now Spark) and Vodafone (now ONE) faced similar accusations—perhaps that’s why they rebranded. Their history includes predatory billing and false‑charge harassment.
Received a call from this number; the woman on the line was hard to hear and asked for me by name, sounding like she might be from India.
Received a few unwanted calls from this line; it felt like harassment and I blocked it.
They say they're returning my call (though I never dialed), refuse to reveal their purpose, and speak without an Aussie accent.
I chose not to leave a comment.
Received a cold call pitching a marketing offer.
A number appears to have compromised my phone on 10‑18‑29‑03‑25, showing up simultaneously with what seemed like emergency calls.
