For New Zealand Users:
Your telephone service provider may charge you for a local call when it
is dialled with an area code prefix. If the charge for a local call is
unacceptable, only the 7-digits of the local number should be dialled
from your telephone. Do not dial the “0” prefix or the area code digit.
