It used to be that call18185 was one of the cheapest using a BT line but I see now they are 1.5p per minute with no connection charge. Make sure you check the boxes carefully for which landline you use as some suppliers charge a connection fee.
The Foreign Office help line regarding Christchurch is.
0202 7008 8765
Thoughts are with all those in Christchurch and those with friends/relatives there. Time difference at the moment is 11 hours ahead of UK.

I can vouch for topupnow.co.uk who offer calls to New Zealand landlines for 0p per minute and a 5p connection fee (so that's 5p per call) if you call via their 0808 freephone number. You need to make a top up call for £1.50 which pays for 30 unlimited calls to New Zealand landlines.0

4p connection + 1½p/minute.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
Sorry, I didn't read it properly myself! I have free calls with my o2 package to NZ so haven't used 18185 for some time now.0

"Call New Zealand from just 0.8p with Localphone—no contracts or monthly fees, and no connection or service charges. "0
