It is still impossible to originate a collect call from the
Netherlands, but collect calls can now be placed from many other
countries via "the Netherlands direct (R)".  Their numbers are:

Australia	  0014 881 310
Austria		    0229 03031		(local call)
Belgium		       11 0031
Brazil		      000 8031
Canada		1 800 363 4031
Denmark		     800 10331
Finland		    9800 10310		(local call)
France		       19 0031
Greece		    00800 3111

Yes, the country code for the Netherlands is 31.

(BTW, can anybody explain the bit about rotary phones in Hong Kong?)

If you live in the Netherlands, you can get a free flyer with this
info from the folks at 06-0402.

All typos are mine.
