Call like a local, pay like a local
In many cases if you make outgoing calls to a New Zealand phone number using a New Zealand FlyNumber as the caller-ID the rate is significantly cheaper.
- The rate is sometimes 10x cheaper so if you call a certain country often, it pays to get a FlyNumber from there.
- Anytime you make outgoing calls with FlyNumber (via the PBX) there is a low per minute rate.
- You can make outgoing calls using the phone system app or create a SIP account.
- More details on the phone system billing can be found in our docs.

Info on New Zealand toll-free phone numbers you may not know
New Zealand's toll-free numbers usually start with 0508 or 0800, making them easily recognizable. Such numbers are often used by businesses to encourage customer calls, as the call costs are absorbed by the company, not the caller.
Interestingly, despite New Zealand's relatively small population, the demand for these toll-free numbers is high. Businesses both large and small leverage them to enhance customer service and expand their reach across both the North and South islands.
A quirk in NZ telephony: Toll-free numbers can't be dialed from outside the country, which might be a surprise for international businesses looking to establish a local presence. So, for global reach, considering a local geographic number might be more practical.
