# Cold Calling Services in New Zealand

## Is B2B cold calling legal in New Zealand?

Yes. New Zealand has no government do-not-call register, but the Privacy Act 2020 and the Fair Trading Act still apply to how you call and what you say.

## Calling rules
- New Zealand has no government do-not-call register. The Marketing Association runs a voluntary Do Not Call list for home and mobile numbers; it doesn't cover businesses.
- The Privacy Act 2020 covers how personal details, such as a contact's name and direct number, are collected and used.
- The Fair Trading Act bans misleading claims, on calls as much as anywhere else.
- Anyone who asks not to be called again goes on your internal do-not-call list straight away.

## Who makes your calls

New Zealand starts its day before almost anyone else, so the best fit is a Filipino caller on an early-morning shift. Manila is four or five hours behind Auckland, and early shifts are common in the Philippines.

Many of our New Zealand clients also sell into Australia. One caller can start on Auckland's morning and carry on into Sydney's.

- **Callers in the Philippines** (We Call for You $2,499/month, Hire a Caller $1,799/month): An early-morning shift in Manila covers Auckland's business day, and can run on into Australia's.
