How to use KiaOra

KiaOra can be used to make national and international calls from any touch tone phone. For the best rates, use it from your home phone to make your every day calls.

1 Dial the local access number for your area
2 Enter the PIN number (it's under the scratch panel on the reverse side of your card
3 Enter destination number in this format:
Within NZ Area Code + Telephone Number (e.g. 03 123 4567)
International 00 + Country Code + Area Code + Telephone Number (e.g. 00 1 212 123 4567)

KiaOra is not the most cost effective way to make international calls from a mobile phone. If you're making your calls from a mobile, take a look at the V8 phone card, which lets you make incredibly cheap international calls from your Vodafone mobile phone.

KiaOra timesavers

You don't want endless numbers to press, no matter how good the rates are, so KiaOra has a couple of handy timesaving devices for you.
