New Zealand local phone number — $4/month

A local number carries the area code of a city, so the person you call sees a neighbour calling rather than an unknown foreign number. It is the number type outbound teams buy first, and the one caller ID rotation uses to match each lead.

Price verified September 16, 2026. Billed monthly, no setup fee.

What New Zealand requires

These are the regulator’s own requirements, as the carrier publishes them. Ringee collects each one in the dashboard and tracks the review.

  1. 1

    Contact Information (Name, Business Name, Phone Number)

    textual

    Contact information for the business or end user, including: (1) the name of the contact person (full given name and family name), (2) the business name when the end user is a business (registered legal name where applicable; may be omitted or stated as 'N/A' for individual end users), and (3) one or more contact phone numbers where the business or end user can be reached. Contact person name and at least one phone number are mandatory; business name is required only when the end user is a business entity. Phone numbers should be in international E.164 format where possible.

    Example: Contact: Maria García López | Business: Bloom & Petal Florist Ltd. | Phone: +34 612 345 678. For individual end users: Contact: John Smith | Business: N/A | Phone: +1 (555) 123-4567.

  2. 2

    Physical Address Within the Country of the Phone Number (National)

    address

    A valid, real-world physical address located in the same country as the phone number being purchased. The address must include street name and number, postal or ZIP code, city, region or province (where applicable), and country. The address does not need to match the specific city or area code of the number; any address within the national borders is acceptable. P.O. boxes, virtual office addresses, mailbox-only services, and addresses outside the country of the phone number are not acceptable. The address should match the address shown on supporting identity or business registration documents where those are also required.

    Example: For a Spanish phone number: Calle de Alcalá 42, 28014 Madrid, Spain. For a German phone number: Friedrichstraße 123, 10117 Berlin, Germany. The address must be a deliverable physical location, not a P.O. box or virtual mailbox.
