4. Dial the International Access Code ( 011 or 01 ) without pausing be- tween digits. If you hesitate 3 seconds or more after dialing “0,” you’ll get your local operator. 5. After dialing the entire International Number, allow 45 seconds for a ring to begin. 6. Frequently overseas telephone numbers on letterheads are pre- ceded by a “0,” which is used only for dialing within that country. Just ignore the “0” in the number, and proceed normally ( 001 or 01 + Country Code + Number Indicated ). ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION Dial “0” ( Operator ) if you need assistance: 1. To obtain a telephone number you don’t know. 2. To obtain City Routing Codes not listed in this section. 3. For help in completing a call. 4. For credit on a call on which you had difficulty, e.g., reached a wrong number. 5. To obtain rates on calls to International points.

International calling is more convenient today than ever before. Calls can now be dialed to many overseas countries by customers through- out the United States. The following instructions are for placing Inter- national Calls.

For International Calls that are person-to-person, collect, calling card or billed to another number, follow the instructions given above but use “01” for the International Access Code. The operator will come on the line to ask for information such as the name of the person you are calling or your calling card number. INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE TIPS TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND TIME. 1. Dial it yourself and save. You can save money by dialing your calls that do not require special operator assistance. 2. Avoid involving an operator. Operator handled calls are more ex- pensive. For example, a station-to-station call you can dial yourself but choose to go through an operator will be billed at the higher operator assisted station rate. Also billed at a higher rate are: per- son-to-person, collect, calling card, requests for time/charges and calls billed to another number. These include dialed “01” calls. 3. Call during bargain times. Rates on most calls are lower at night and Sunday.
