What is Vodafone local zone?

With Vodafone local zone, one mobile phone can do two jobs. When you're out and about your mobile is a mobile, but the moment you arrive home, your mobile becomes your home phone.

Just like that, when you're at home you can call other home phones at a standard landline rate and they can call you for the same.

When you're out any calls made to your home phone will go straight to your mobile phone voicemail and you'll receive a TXT to say that you've got a new message.

Even better, you can keep your existing home phone number. Yes, life just got easier.

OK Love it! How do I get it?

You'll need to be on a You Choose plan to get Vodafone local zone, have a compatible handset and 256k SIM card.

To add local zone to your plan, just head into any Vodafone retail store. They'll check you have a compatible handset, and either assign you a new home phone number, or transfer your existing number onto your local zone plan.

Terms and Conditions apply.

Follow you diversion
If you still want to receive calls to your home phone number while you are out and about, you can choose to add the 'follow you diversion' option for an additional $30 a month. With 'follow you diversion' all calls to your home number will be diverted to your mobile number, no matter where you are within NZ.

If you roam overseas, you can opt out of the 'follow you diversion' by contacting 0800 189 189. Otherwise your land line will divert when you are overseas at roaming prices.

If you choose not to add 'follow you diversion', when people call your home number while you're out, those calls will go through to your mobile voicemail.
