PT] From: John Keator, National Public Radio Date: 5 Sept 89 To: Telecom Digest Re: Country Direct Numbers In researching the availability of the reverse of USA Direct numbers for an upcoming international conference we are co-hosting I received the following list from AT&T. Most of these numbers are for collect calls only as many do not have calling cards. Denmark has the additional restriction of only being available from 3PM to 10 PM, (the time zone is not indicated,); apparently they feel the service only warrants one shift. ALL NUMBERS ARE 800- Australia 682-2878 Austria 624-0043 Belgium N/A Denmark 762-0045 Finland 232-0358 France 537-2623 FR Germany 292-0049 Hong Kong 992-2323 Italy 543-7662 Japan 543-0051 Korea 882-8256 Netherlands 432-0031 New Zealand 248-0064 Norway 292-0047 Sweden 345-0046 Switzerland N/A UK 445-5667 I'm sure there are others, but these are the countries I requested. There is apparently no single book with all numbers included. Now, I wonder what rate is charged for these calls? John Keator NPR Washington 202 822 2800 [Note from John Covert: I called Italy and Germany, both of which accept collect calls only (no credit cards) and charge as follows: Italy: 4721 L ($3.34)/min 6p-7a otherwise 6000 L ($4.25)/min Germany: DM 24 ($12.13) first minute, DM 3.22 ($1.63) ea addl minute]
