Hey everyone - could someone from a telco advise if there are 12 digit mobile lengths coming in now

We are getting customers adding their 12 digit mobiles under 027,021,022,020 on their accounts

But under https://www.nad.org.nz/number-register/ and https://www.nad.org.nz/assets/Deed-and-Rules/NAD-Rules-v7.0.pdf and https://www.tnzi.com/numbering-plan they dont mention it

Could you supply a document that shows the 12 digit length now

Thanks

VodafoneNZ is opening up the last possible number range now but this range number length has been around for years

02109xxxxxx same length as 02108

I looked after MSISDN ranges on the technology side for about 8 years

Edit: I should make it clear last range in 021 they do have other ranges like 029 and 028 they can use

But it seems either the NAD has not updated their rules, or Vodafone is in breach of the NAD.

@r0bbie They do mention it on https://www.tnzi.com/numbering-plan

Mobiles/pagers: 2-digit code plus 6-, 7- or 8-digit numbers

Hmmmm

I'm not aware of any 12 digit number ranges (ie 3 digit network code + 9 digit phone number)

A few examples we have from our customers is 12 digits not including the +64

02110XXXXXXX
02102XXXXXXX
02108XXXXXXX

The reason that this came up is our CRM software (not pabx) is not dialing those because of the length and the vendor came back saying the standard is only

3 digit network code + 8 digit phone number not 3 digit network code + 9 digit phone number

Can you give an example of a new 12 digit number?

Is it in the 02109 range?

it's not possible for 02110XXXXXXX to be 12 digits as that range was opened years ago and fully used up

02110xxxxx
