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 described this as a negative encounter.
Irritating. No missed call, only a text message.
I received a call asking about the store's opening hours; although it was presented as automated, I actually spoke with a man.
Another telemarketer trying to sell something I don't need.
I was subjected to a three‑day barrage of insults and harassment, with the caller using offensive terms like 'fat' and other rude names.
This appears to be a fraudulent scheme.
When my phone rang with an unfamiliar number, I ignored it, asked household members for identification, called back with no answer, then searched online and found this.
Since the number was unfamiliar, I let it go to voicemail, but no message or text was sent, which feels unreliable.
Sales call for kitchen gadgets. Advertising.
I received a call to schedule an appointment following a referral.
They asked about my employment status and retirement, thanked me, then ended the call—seems shady.
Det virket som om han hadde lite moro på jobben
User indicated this is Annoying
User notes: Bad
Call was disconnected as soon as I answered.
A call came in at 6 p.m., left a voicemail asking me to return the call, but no company name was mentioned, so I won’t be calling back.
Another unknown caller popped up on my screen. No clue who they are, just a random ring.
