TELEPHONING A FOREIGN SERVICE POST

Below is a procedure for telephoning a Forj^ign Service post. American Embassy Canberra
is used as an example.

Calling From a U.S. Government Agency:

Dial 9 + international access code + country code + city code
+ local number

Ex: 9 + Oil + [61] + (62) + 705000

Others:

Dial international access code + country code + city code
+ local number

Ex: 011+ [61] + (62) + 705000

NOTE: Some international calls will require operator assistance because the country is
not an international dial country. The telephone listing for these countries will not be
preceded by a country code and city code (always shown in brackets and parenthesis).

Calls to certain points outside the continental U.S. can be dialed in the same manner
as long distance. Simply dial the area code or country code and the local number. For
these locations no city code will appear with the telephone number.
