07 is the area code for Waikato and the Bay of Plenty, including Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua and Taupo.
Where 07 is used
Numbers are written 07 345 6789, with seven digits after the code. 07 covers dairy and farming country as well as busy cities. Tauranga and Hamilton have grown quickly, so many people have moved in and kept their original numbers.
A number with a local area code does not mean the caller is local, because callers can show any New Zealand number.
What the 07 area is known for
Hamilton is the centre of a major dairy region and home to the University of Waikato, Tauranga has the country's largest export port, and Rotorua is a geothermal tourist destination. Tourism and farming make the area a target for fake booking, equipment and payment-change calls. If a supplier says its bank details have changed, confirm on a number you already have.
Does the area code show where the caller is?
Not reliably. Scammers and call centers use spoofing to display a local area code because people are more likely to answer. People also keep their number when they move, so a 07 number can belong to someone anywhere.
That is why the full number matters more than the code. If someone has already reported it, you will see it below.
