              INTERNATIONAL DIALING
      The Phun of International Calling
   How you can be an diplomat for the United States
                by Dr Jimmy and Mr Jim

   There are several ways to complete the overseas connection.

   One is to use extenders (800 #s) with international calling
capability, this is easy for most people since it can be done
from fortress phones (payphones), what a mind blower, calling a
overseas payphone from a payphone.  But 800 #s can be traced.

   Another bummer is that they can not be called from the Lyons'
Teleconferencing Network, well not directly that is. Another
alternative is to use a PBX or PABX system which will dial an
outside line, well the 800 extenders are also PBXs usually, but
PBXs which do not have an NPA of 800 are only good for local
calls, being phreaked,--phreaking so one can phreak, what a good
idea--or can be called in from the teleconference, but the
connection is not that great.  I know, because on a recent
teleconference we called a girl in London and the American
Embassy in Iran, and a couple of Australian payphones.  Another
problem with bringing PBXs and extenders into the teleconference
is getting rid of them if the phone answers busy or doesn't
answer.  You have to blast 2600Hz on the teleconference, this
can trunk many people on line. Unfortunately at the present
time,  international calling and Lyons' teleconferencing do not
go well together.  This fact shattered this phreak's dream of a
worldwide teleconference.

  Enough about that.  Here are some ways to calling
internationally with a Blue Box or anything that generates MF
tones.  First of all, seize a tandem in the usual way and
perform this sequence of events:

     KP + NPA + ZZZ + ST

   Where KP and ST are the standard tones you all familiar with,
and NPA, ZZZ are the Number Planning Area and number of the
overseas sender respectively. (They will be listed later.) Now
you should here a slight clunk-cheep or CLUNK, depending on
where you are.  Then a continuous carrier is heard. This is what
you want.  Now do this sequence of events:

     KP + XCC + SC + LN + ST

Where X is a 1 for cable connection
             0 for satellite connection
CC is the two or three digit country code
SC is the City Code of the city you wish to call
LN is the Local Number, this can be from three to eight digits.

   Also since you are using a MFer you can reach inward
operators. I do not know if this can be done from an PBX or
extender.

   The list of some the country codes and city codes are listed
at the end of this file, or are available from the phone book
(medium to large cities with direct international calling
available through 011, usually are listed in the front few
pages.)

   OR you can do it as the Doctor does, make the phone company
operators work for their money, use Rate and Route.

   To call up Rate and Route, get on your favorite trunk and
beep this:

    KP + 800 + 141 + 1212 + ST

   Now you may note, this has a NPA of 800, but it cannot be
directly dialed through DTMF or rotary since it is an invalid
exchange to you the subscriber.

   When you call this up, you will be connected with a TSPS
position and if all the positions are busy, it will give you a
recording:  'Please hold on. All positions are busy at the
moment and your request will be answered as soon as possible.'
Wait, it really does answer.

   When you are hooked up to the Rate and Route operator ask
for:

TSPS International Inward Operators Route to ....., or
TSPS International Directory Assistance Route to .....

where ..... is the city and country NAME, not code.
and she/he will say: "Right. That's  county code CC, city code
SC, and then the number is #####."

   And these numbers do vary. London information is:

           44 + 1 + 986 + 3611

and Sydney, Austrailia is:

            61 + 2 + 0143

   I am not completely certain, but I believe when you MF into a
non-English speaking country, Inward and D. A. Ops speak English
because I believe they know it is coming from the United States.
At least this happened with me when I called German D. A.

   I have not called any country, other than Germany, which does
not have English as its main language.
