How do I make a 2degrees WiFi call when I'm overseas?

You’ll only need to enable WiFi Calling on your phone once. After you’ve switched it on and connected to a WiFi network, your phone will automatically be able to make calls over WiFi.
If you’re travelling internationally and want to make a call, you need to include the International Calling Code of the destination you’re calling. Even if the number you’re calling is within the destination you’re currently in.

If you want to call 022 123 456, simply drop the ‘0’ and replace it with the country code which starts with ‘+’.

New Zealand’s International Calling Code is +64, which means that to call the above number you would dial +64 22 123 456.

Every country has their own International Calling Code. To find the codes for other destinations, please search on countrycode.org (just remember, if you’re not connected to WiFi, visiting this website will use your plan’s data).

Any overseas short-codes, freephone or premium numbers will not work when you have WiFi Calling enabled.

Tip: If you travel overseas often, it’s a good idea to add frequently called numbers (like family, friends and colleagues) to your contacts list in the international dialling format (with a + sign). Don’t worry, when you save numbers this way, you’ll still be able to make and receive calls and texts just as normal when you’re back in New Zealand.
