New Zealand's telegraph network initially served only the domestic market. In 1876... the telegraph department laid the first submarine cable linking New Zealand and Australia, which also gave the country a direct link-up with Europe. By then, the telegraph was on its way toward obsolescence as a popular communications device as news of the invention of the telephone reached New Zealand. By 1877, the first telephone line had been installed in the country, linking Kaiaipoi and Addington. The following year saw the emergence of the first commercial telephone service, using a privately built line in Christchurch.

A new solution from Synapse Group of New Zealand addresses and fixes this problem. Much like a typical ‘Ringtone,’ Synapse’s EasyRoam is a small download, which drops right into modern cellphones or can be pre-installed by the carrier. On demand, EasyRoam reconfigures the stored contacts with the appropriate network access and international prefixes so the phone ‘just works’ in any country. Pre-programmed with the world’s dialing specifications, EasyRoam is not only welcomed by the frustrated traveller, but is ... great for the mobile carriers which benefit from increased use of their networks and phones.

New Zealand entered the modern age of communications in 1862 when the first telegraph line was constructed by the country's military between the towns of Christchurch and Lyttleton, following the South Island's railroad. Additional telegraph networks soon appeared, covering much of the South Island; telegraph services were only later introduced to the North Island.

[I]n addition to network/wholesale, Paul ... brings operational experience (from his spell in his native Scotland -- a country with similar challenges to New Zealand) and product management skills to TNZ. All-in-all this makes him eminently suitable for his new job. His appointment is a good fit for both parties," Cansfield wrote.
