To make calls or send texts to NZ numbers: Simply dial the NZ mobile number without any country specific dial out codes.
Note: If the incorrect dial out codes are used, you will receive a nil balance/top up message - This is because the network does not recognise the location of the number you're dialling. It does not mean that you've run out of credit.
Calls & SMS to Australia
To make calls and send texts to Australia, you must make sure to use the Country dial out code +61 followed by the mobile number without the 0. Eg. +61 430 XXX XXX.
