0800 numbers are not premium rate. They are free to call in the UK. From outside the UK they may well not work at all. I've seen suggestions that Skype will work, either free or at low cost.

As there is no number or official support for NZ it maybe worth trying the online support options here alternatively this page may give you an idea if you can call the number without any charge to yourself, also perhaps your phone provider can advise you. 

The number as advised is a FreePhone number within the UK, so maybe free to call from elsewhere..

Skype FAQ says you can still call toll free numbers without charge, including 0800 in the UK.  I've just confirmed this number works.

I used to make use of this when 0800 were charged on my mobile, and to ring my bank in NZ from the UK!

Excellent GregC

So you can dial a UK Freephone number from outside of the UK using Skype
