I would appreciate any advice,

Turn your device off.
Then take the battery door off and remove the battery.
Then insert your SIM card from the New Zealand carrier.
Then replace the battery and the battery door.
Then turn your device on.
Then tap Start > Settings > Menu > Phone > All Settings > Personal > Network Tab
Then from the Mode of operation list, select Global and tap ok.
Then soft reset your device and let it boot completely.
Then try.
If that doesn't seem to work then:
Change the network mode to GSM only:
1. Tap Start > Settings > Menu > Phone Network Mode.
2. From the Mode of operation list, select GSM only.
3. Tap ok.
Good Luck!
