How to stop unwanted calls in New Zealand
Updated
New Zealand has no government do-not-call register, so blocking and filtering do most of the work.
- Silence unknown callers on iPhone (Settings, Phone) or turn on spam filtering in the Android Phone app.
- Block repeat numbers from your call history.
- Ask companies that call you to stop and to remove your number; under the Privacy Act you can ask what information they hold.
- Report scam texts to 7726 and scams to Netsafe.
