Question: Hello, I am trying to dial a phone number listed as 0064 4 39x xxxx. The call is not connecting. I am dialing from Australia. Can you please help?
Answer: Thank you for your question.
It looks like you are trying to call New Zealand (country code 64).
’00’ is commonly used as an international exit code for many European and Asian countries, as well as New Zealand. The exit code you dial depends on the country you are calling from.
To dial this number from Australia, replace the ’00’ with ‘0011’ (Australia’s exit code).
The dialing sequence should be:
| 0011 | 64 | 4 | 39x xxxx |
| Australian exit code | New Zealand country code | area code for Wellington | local subscriber number |
If this call was dialed from the United States or Canada, the exit code would be ‘011’.
| 011 | 64 | 4 | 39x xxxx |
| American exit code | New Zealand country code | area code for Wellington | local subscriber number |
If this call was dialed from Japan, the exit code would be ‘010’.
| 010 | 64 | 4 | 39x xxxx |
| Japanese exit code | New Zealand country code | area code for Wellington | local subscriber number |
If this call was dialed from most of the European or Asian countries (including the UK, France, Germany, India, and China) the exit code would be ’00’ (as listed in your current number)
| 00 | 64 | 4 | 39x xxxx |
| British exit code | New Zealand country code | area code for Wellington | local subscriber number |
