+64 country code: New Zealand

Who uses +64 and where New Zealand is

The +64 country code serves New Zealand, the only country on this page. The country sits in Oceania, in the Australia and New Zealand subregion, and its capital is Wellington. New Zealand has three official languages: English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language. The currency is the New Zealand dollar.

Local time and number format

New Zealand uses two time zones. Pacific/Auckland runs at UTC+12:00, and Pacific/Chatham runs at UTC+12:45. A New Zealand mobile number in international format looks like this: +64 21 123 4567.

Calling and messaging over the internet

You can call or message a +64 number over the internet using a data connection. This works for reaching contacts in New Zealand without relying on a standard mobile line for the international leg of the call.

If you need to add credit to a New Zealand mobile, Slashtel sends prepaid top-ups to these operators: One NZ, Spark and 2degrees. You can top up a New Zealand number through the recharge page for New Zealand.

+64 numbers reach New Zealand mobiles and landlines, with Wellington as the capital and English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language as the official languages. Calls and messages over a data connection let you reach these numbers from wherever you have internet access. The New Zealand dollar is the currency used for top-ups sent to One NZ, Spark and 2degrees. Check that the number you enter matches the +64 21 123 4567 layout before sending credit. The two time zones, Pacific/Auckland at UTC+12:00 and Pacific/Chatham at UTC+12:45, cover different parts of the country, so contacts in New Zealand may be in either zone when you call or message them over the internet.

Slashtel keeps the process simple: choose the operator, enter the +64 number and send the top-up. Once the credit arrives, the recipient can use it on their One NZ, Spark or 2degrees mobile.
