The following indicates access codes and numbers used within various countries
|
|
for toll-free and special paid services. The dialing codes shown represent how
|
|
they would be dialed within the country involved. Generally, it is not
|
|
possible to access another country's domestic toll-free or specialty network
|
|
directly. Where an international access is available, it is normally done by
|
|
using the domestic services which then forward the call to the destination
|
|
country.
|
|
|
|
Where possible, the number of digits has been indicated with 'n' (a number from
|
|
2 to 8) or 'x' (any number). An ellipsis (...) indicates that there are a
|
|
variable number of extra digits, or possibly a conflict in the reports of
|
|
numbers of digits used.

0130-0013. For a general toll-free number listings, pick up
|
|
a copy of the International Herald newspaper and look in the
|
|
sports section is for an AT&T add. You will find a number
|
|
for dialing the US from various countries. Mearly, chop
|
|
off the exchange and only use the "area code" number.

We're not 100% sure about the length of digits for Italy.
|
|
One way to check these is to get a copy of an *international*
|
|
edition of the weekly magazines like TIME, all ads and little
|
|
contents. But they do goof up regularly, like printing Paris
|
|
numbers as (01) xxxxxxxx when they mean (1) xxxxxxxx.

06-4xx(x) 06-2229111 is AT&T USA direct and Sprint & MCI have operator
|
|
services on 06-022xxxx. It used to be possible to call
|
|
06-022xxxx to Denmark, and then use the CCITT no. 4
|
|
signalling system to phreak calls to anywhere in the
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
06-11 This is the Dutch equivalent of 911, it is free when
|
|
dialled from a phone company operated payphone, otherwise the
|
|
charge is one unit, DFL 0.15, about US $ 0.08. There were
|
|
discussions about making such calls free from any phone, but
|
|
I haven't followed them recently. Calling a toll-free number
|
|
from a payphone requires a deposit of one coin, which is
|
|
returned after the call.
|
|
|
|
The total length of the numbers varies from 4 to 10 digits
|
|
and the dash indicates the secondary dial tone. It is not
|
|
possible to reach 06 prefixed numbers from abroad.

0800 xxx xxx That is through the state telco, Telecom New Zealand. Clear
|
|
Communications, the recently started alternative LD carrier,
|
|
does not offer a toll-free service as yet. When Clear offer
|
|
one, it will more than likely be to the subscribers existing
|
|
number (eg Dial toll free 050-04-654-3210) as they are not
|
|
in control of number issue. 0800 is strictly Telecom at this

determines which long distance carrier or 800

155 xx xx ("green number")
|
|
|
|
In Switzerland there is nothing exactly like the equivalent
|
|
to United States "800" service. The PTT is now encouraging
|
|
the use of "green numbers" beginning with 155. The direct
|
|
marketing ads on TV often give the order number for
|
|
Switzerland as a number such as 155 XX XX. The access number
|
|
for MCI Call USA is for example 155 02 22. There are two
|
|
problems with this:
|
|
|
|
1] When calling from a model AZ44(older model) payphone all
|
|
numbers which begin with a "1" are treated as "service"
|
|
numbers and the payphone begins to sound a "cuckoo clock
|
|
noise" once the 155 is entered. The "cuckoo clock noise" is
|
|
to alert operators on the "service numbers" that the caller
|
|
is using a payphone (fraud protection). This noise is quite
|
|
a distraction when calling someone in the USA using MCI Call
|
|
USA.
|
|
|
|
2] The newer style TelcaStar phones are programmed to block
|
|
the keypad after 3 digits are dialed of a "service number".
|
|
It used to be that the only numbers beginning with "1" were
|
|
"service numbers" and all "service numbers" were 3 digits.
|
|
The PTT is aware of this problem and are said to be
|
|
considering what instructions to give the manufacturer of the
|
|
payphones.
|
|
|
|
AT&T USA Direct has an access number of 046 05 00 11. This
|
|
is not a free call, but the time is metered at the lowest
|
|
rate. This number does not suffer the "cuckoo clock noise"
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
|
Canada Direct uses 046 05 83 30.
