| 1232316 | 2011-09-20 04:23:00 | I've been asked to ring someone on a phone number 212 wxyz Is that a toll call, or a cell phone or what? It's the first time I've come across one. Thanks |

| 1232317 | 2011-09-20 04:35:00 | Well country code 212 is Morocco | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1232318 | 2011-09-20 04:46:00 | I last went to Morocco in the '80s, and I certainly didn't pick up any Moroccan numbers (or anything else for that matter!) when I was there, so it can't be that.... | tuiruru (12277) | ||
| 1232319 | 2011-09-20 04:49:00 | If you put a 0 in front it looks like a vodafone number | plod (107) | ||
| 1232320 | 2011-09-20 04:49:00 | It could just be a New Zealand cellphone number, without the 0. For example, 021 200 1234 might be expressed as 21 200 1234 by someone not familiar with our numbering system, or more commonly, +64 21 200 1234 in international format. Alternatively it could be a New York number if the person telling you it happens to be American. |

ThanksIf it's a 7-digit number starting with 212 (as per your '212 XXYZ' format above), then it's a landline call within your local region (e.g. 04, 09 etc). This may or may not be within your 'local free calling area' - that depends on your phone plan - but calling it will never cost more than a standard NZ national landline. It is *not* an international or cellphone number. |
