Calling New Zealand from United Kingdom: what to know

New Zealand answers on the country code +64, with the capital in Wellington and most business concentrated around Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. The working language for business is English and Maori, and local offices generally keep hours of 08:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday.

From United Kingdom the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +64 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Most mobiles in New Zealand sit on operators such as Spark, One NZ, 2degrees. New Zealand is one of the first countries to start the business day; from the Americas it is the next calendar day.

New Zealand runs on UTC plus 12, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
