The country code for New Zealand is +64.
When calling from outside New Zealand, you must drop the trunk prefix '0' from the NZ area code. For example, Christchurch's area code 03 becomes +64 3.
The area codes are:
02 or +64 2 = mobile numbers
03 or +64 3 = South Island, Chatham Islands, incl. Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson
04 or +64 4 = Wellington, Kapiti, but not the Wairarapa or Otaki
06 or +64 6 = southern and eastern North Island, incl. Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Gisborne, Otaki, the Wairarapa, and Manawatu-Wanganui (excluding Taumarunui)
07 or +64 7 = Waikato, Hamilton, Bay of Plenty, Taumarunui
09 or +64 9 = Auckland, Whangarei, Northland
Mobile Phones:
021 or +64 21 = Vodafone
022 or +64 22 = 2degrees
027 or +64 27 = Telecom NZ
(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
