On pages 15-16 there is a list of the 800 for several countries. AT&T COuntry Direct SErvices offer internation calling convenience from the U.S. These services are offered through the cooperation of AT&T and the overseas telephone companies and allow calls to be made directly to a foreign operator, thereby eliminating any language barriers. Calls may be billed collect (reverse caharges) and in most cases, to the calling card issued in the overseas country. Calls can be made from all US States execpt Alaska. (why?) Country Dial for Access (Numbers are listed with 1 800 in front) Australia Direct 682-2878 Austria Direct 624-0043 Brazil Directo 344-1055 Danmark Direkte 762-0045 Deutschland Direkt 292-0049 Finland Direct 232-0358 France Direct 537-2623 HK Direct 992-2323 Italy Direct * 543-7662 Japan Direct 543-0051 Korea Direct * 822-8256 Nederland Direct 432-0031 Norge Direkte 292-0047 NZ Direct 248-0064 Panama Direct * 872-6106 Singapore Direct * 822-6588 Sweden Direct 345-0046 Thailand Direct 342-0066 UK Direct * 445-5667 * AT&T oountry Direct calls to these countries cannot be made from Hawaii. (why?) [Moderator's Note: I think the thing with Alaska and Hawaii may have been (may still be?) that AT&T has no presence in those states. Tariff considerations come into play with the telcos operating in those states. PAT]
