New Zealand Post Office
Telephones List

Telephones from New Zealand have a different dial to the rest of the world.  Dial telephones are numbered 0, 1.....8, 9 in a clockwise direction.  Click here for a picture.

The list is incomplete as it is difficult to find conclusive information on NZPO telephones.  Please advise of missing models.

Don't expect to see a NZPO model number on the base, instead you may find a generic British Post Office model number (i.e. BPO No. 332) or a private manufacturers model number (i.e. N2122 - British Ericsson).  Some are cross referenced below.

Circuit diagrams are either linked from the model page or from the Ericsson main list for 'N' prefixed models (follow the Ericsson Telephone link at bottom of the page).
