Region vs. Telephone Area
The five codes identify broad numbering regions rather than precise cities, and the NAD register allocates smaller code blocks to specific Local Interconnect Calling Areas. Number portability and nomadic or IP-based services can separate a geographic number from the user’s current physical location. Code 03 spans both mainland South Island time and the Chatham Islands’ 45-minute offset.
A code listed beside a city reflects a featured numbering association; it does not assert that every community in Wellington Region uses that code or that the code stops at the administrative border.
