I’m from the US and coming to visit New Zealand in a few weeks. We’re super excited about the possibility (however unlikely it may be) of driving through sheep, and I recently bought an eSIM so I can tell everyone back home all about it!

Normally to dial New Zealand from the US, I’d dial 011-64-x-xxx-xxxx, where x is the New Zealand number. I called our hotel and confirmed this works. For my prepaid eSIM, One gave me an 11-digit number beginning with a zero (029020xxxxx). I’ve read that I’m supposed to drop the leading zero when calling internationally, so I think the correct way to dial this from the US would be 011-64-290-20x-xxxx. Is that correct?

I have elderly relatives who will have this number for emergencies, so it’s important that I leave them clear instructions. Unfortunately I can’t activate the number before landing in NZ, so I’m hoping to have this sorted out ahead of time.

Thank you!
