New Zealand phone numbers have been written in a form of (09) 801 4567 but recently Telecom New Zealand told us in our "Customer Hotline" newsletter, that "To fit in with international convention, we're changing the way we write our telephone numbers". The new format is 0-9-801 4567 They say that with the new format it is easier to recoginse the access code of "0" which means Telecom tolls. I read in a newspaper article a while ago that alternative toll companies would be using access codes of 05xx. Ben Kinchant, Ben_Kinchant@kcbbs.gen.nz
