Well, for this example I can just look at my trusty White Pages directory in the OTC International Direct Dial pages and find: Mexico $2.10 AEST less 16-18 hours Tones: Ring=E, Busy=D 0011 + 52 + area code + local no Acapulco 748 Merida 99 Tijuana 66 Ciudad Juarez 161 Mexico City 5 Torreon 17 Guadalajara 36 Puebla 22 Veracruz 29 E = Short tone followed by a longer pause D = Short sharp tone repeated at frequent intervals ----------- Of course if the town in Mexico hadn't been on this list I would have to call the international operator. Your mileage will vary. David Wilson Dept Comp Sci, Uni of Wollongong david@cs.uow.edu.au
