Country code New Zealand, +64 or 0064?

There are two spellings for the New Zealand area code, namely +64 and 0064. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for New Zealand and what are the different versions for?

The country code of New Zealand that starts with a “+” (i.e. +64) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to New Zealand using the +64 area code. This applies to almost every country in the world.

Unfortunately, there are phones (especially older models) that do not support the international spelling. The New Zealand area code with leading zeros (0064) is then used on these phones. The leading zeros are also referred to as the so-called traffic elimination number. When you call, they indicate that it is an international call.

Problem: Access code and area code 0064

In fact, the 0064 variant is used for calls to New Zealand, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0064 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to New Zealand begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01164.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to New Zealand you can always use the country code 0064. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+64) of the New Zealand country code works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
