How to phone / fax abroad.

Phoning or faxing is up to date done the same way. Dialling the International access code, local Country code, local area code, and then the local telephone number. How do you find all these numbers?

Let us give an example:

USA          (+ 1)     (white pages - Switchboard)  Info Switchboard

USA:              E.g. is the country where we want to find a telephone number.
                       (The data base where we are searching does not have to be in the US).

(+ 1):               E.g. (+) is your International access code. (In Europe this is most likely "00" ).

(+ 1):               E.g. (1) is your local country code. (This time the USA).

                       Telstar in Australia has made it very easy to find the International access code.
                       Just check this out:   (Write country names in English).
                       International access code, country code, and local time anywhere in the world.

  E.g. From: Norway    to: Bahrain.

If we want to dial USA from Norway, we are dialling:   00 - 1 - area code - telephone number

International access code: ( 00 ) local country code: ( 1 ) area code, and local telephone number.

(White pages - Switchboard)      Here, area code and telephone number can be found. (For the US).

Info Switchboard                        Here, information about the data base can be found.

Dialling Stockholm from Norway gives us: 00 - 46 - (0)8 - local number.
When the local area code starts with "0" we do not dial the Zero in most cases.
Exeptions we have listed under: Info "Country".
