Most phone numbers in New Zealand are written in the following formats:

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v
   0   A   SSS SSSS     - Local format
  +64  A   SSS SSSS     - International format

Most telephone numbers in New Zealand have 8 digits and are written in the format of "A SSS SSSS". Here are some examples: 9 275 0789; 3 450 9031.

When dialing locally inside New Zealand, the long distance prefix of "0" is required. So the format becomes "0 A SSS SSSS".

When dialing from outside of New Zealand, the international dial-in prefix "+64" is required. So the format becomes "+64 A SSS SSSS".

When dialing from New Zealand to other countries, the international dail-out prefix "+" or "00" required.
