DIAL DIRECT Ifyour area has International Dialing, you have the whole world at your fingertips, and you can reach anywhere-in no time! Here's how it works to London, for instance. Dial: INTERNATIONAL ACCESS CODE COUNTRYCODE CITYCODE LOCALNUMBER 011 +44+ 1 +1234567 Take advantage of your International Dialing Service. It not only saves you time, but money. Like, 90< on a 3-minute call to London-that's more than 16%. And there are comparable savings around the world. ALMOST DIRECT Until you get International Dialing, here's the way to speed up your overseas calls. Dial 0, and be ready to tell the Operator the country city and local number you want. Specify Station or Person. The faster you give your information, the faster you reach your party-and that helps free the Operator for the next call, and the next time you want to call. By the way, if it's a Station call, you qualify for the same low rates as International Dialing. P.S. Everyone can dial direct to Canada and the Caribbean, to Alaska and Hawaii and to parts of Mexico-just as you dial direct to cities inside the continental U.S. Announcing a new line or a new heir, you can tell the world faster if you keep a record of the codes you use-and use them. @ Bell System -_ h ^
