Hi All,

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but here goes.

I want to know if there is a comprehensive book that would tell me the
rates charged by PTTs all over the world for calls coming in to the
United States. AT&T has a book of rates for the outbound service for
all (most) of the countries, but I have not come across anything for
inbound traffic charges. I would hate to call every embassy and get
the rates. Also, how are charges determined by both sides? Why is it
cheaper to call some countries than their neighbours?


Thanks,

Sameer
