64 Country Code: New Zealand (+64)
Country code 64 (+64) belongs to New Zealand. New Zealand uses the international dialing code +64, assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) under the E.164 standard. The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is NZ.
You will see the same code written several ways depending on origin: +64 (universal + prefix, works from mobile), 0064 (from countries that use 00 as their international exit code — most of Europe, Asia, and Latin America), 011 64 (from the US and Canada), 0011 64 (from Australia), or the bare 64. All refer to the same New Zealand country code.
New Zealand uses five single-digit area codes covering large regions: 09 Auckland/Northland, 04 Wellington/lower North Island, 03 entire South Island, 07 Waikato/Bay of Plenty, 06 Taranaki/Hawke's Bay. All mobile numbers start with 02 — Spark 021/027, One NZ 021, 2degrees 022. Landline numbers are 7 digits after the area code; mobiles are 8 or 9 digits total.

Calling New Zealand Successfully: Common Mistakes & Best Practices
Most failed calls to New Zealand come from one of four mistakes, not from network problems. The most common is mishandling the leading 0: domestically, New Zealand numbers are written with 0 at the front (e.g. 0211234567), but that 0 is the domestic trunk prefix and must be removed when calling from outside New Zealand. Dial +64 followed directly by the local number without the 0.
The second is misreading the area code on landline numbers — New Zealand area codes are not uniform length (Auckland / Northland 9, Wellington / lower North Is. 4, Christchurch / South Is. 3), so confirm the city before dialing. The third is dialing during off-hours — New Zealand uses English business hours and consumer phones are usually answered between 8 AM and 9 PM local time. The fourth and most expensive mistake is assuming your US carrier's WiFi calling feature makes the call cheap. It does not — see WiFi calling vs VoIP for international calls for why.
For scam-call awareness: +64 is the legitimate New Zealand country code, and most unsolicited calls from +64 numbers are legitimate calls from New Zealand-based businesses, hospitals, family members, or call centers serving US customers. Caller-ID spoofing exists, so if a call from a +64 number claims to be from a US government agency, your bank, or the IRS, hang up and call the agency back on its published number. Real authorities never demand payment over the phone.
