Call Diversion on a business landline

You can redirect calls from your business landline to another number of your choice. It could be another landline, your voice message box, a pager service or an alternative local access network provider. We'll normally be able to set up the link within 24 hours. Please note that this service may not be available in some areas due to network constraints or incompatibility with other products or services. There is a monthly cost for Call Diversion .

Please call us on 888 from a One NZ mobile or 0800 400 888 from any landline.

You can programme in up to nine telephone numbers where you regularly divert calls.
