Numbering context

History

NAD’s consumer guidance notes that local geographic numbers were standardised at seven digits nationwide in the 1980s. The current Numbering Plan Rules and Number Register retain five geographic code families, each combined with a seven-digit local number. The long-term plan continues to review how IP networks and nomadic use may weaken the traditional link between a number and a physical location.

NAD classifies 09 as a geographic service code; the current register allocates smaller 09 code blocks to Auckland, Whangārei and other northern local calling areas.
