There is no mobile phone reception in the NMR room. You can use the internal phone in case of an emergency to call security at 8888.

The extension number for the NMR room is x9501 and the external number is +64 4 463 9501

The marked button on the lab phone is a speed dial directly to my mobile in case of assistance or emergency.
