Interesting tip - new phone said when setting up, don't "add zero" if in Australia but do "add zero" if in NZ, so I set it to do that so a Hamilton caller would appear as 07 846 .... instead of 7 846 ....
My first call was from 00 784 62.. - that's from a Caribbean island so I didn't answer. Had 2nd thoughts and reset to don't add zero which caused the number to display as 07 846 2... - Hamilton no. which I should have answered.

It appears the instructions are out of date in the phone's manual. If you're in NZ on Copper lines, do add zero but if on fibre, don't
