Get your New Zealand number

Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +64 number
Select New Zealand (+64) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +64 into Uber.
Enter the Uber code
Uber sends a 4-digit code by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +64 number; type the code into Uber to finish.

Kiwis living in Australia: Many New Zealanders live across the Tasman and keep a NZ number for banking, IRD notices and family.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
