The first stage routes to an overseas sender and uses 011, which is the international access code for International Direct Distance Dialing (IDDD) plus the paired country code. If the country code is two digits, the paired country code can be derived by adding a "0" to the left of the country code. Example: The country code for England is 44. The paired country code would be 044. First stage outpulsing for England would then be: KP-011044-ST. If the country code contains three digits, the paired country code cannot be derived in this way and must be looked up. Example: The country code for Guam is 671. The paired country code is 067. First stage outpulsing for Guam would be KP-011067-ST. Second example: The country code for Cyprus is 357. The paired country code is 087. It is a rule that a paired country code must never be the same as any counry code. About five seconds after the STart pulse, an international dial tone will be heard. This will time out to a reorder in about ten seconds. When the dial tone is heard, the system is ready to accept the second stage of pulsing in the format: KP-country code-city code-digits-ST. At this stage it is the country code not the paired country code which is used. Use the paired country codes when calling inward operators. Some toll offices are screened against 011 coming in on a long distance trunk. In that case precede the 011 with the area code which would apply for that toll office. Example: for a toll office in Gainsville, FL use KP-904+011+paired CC-ST. Another way to reach the overseas senders is to call them directly with KP-sender number-ST. If this doesn't work add the area code of the sender. Example: KP-904185-ST. This is a list of international centers with their area codes.: A/C Sender Location --- ------ -------- 914 182 White Plains, NY 212 183 New York, NY 412 184 Pittsburg, PA 904 185 Jacksonville, FL 415 186 Sacramento, CA 303 187 Denver, CO 212 188 New York (same sender as 183) The routing for a particular country can be found by dialing normally (pulse or touch-tone) 011+CC+000+enough digits to add up to a total of seven inclucing the country code. Example: 011+44+00011. You will get a recording. At the end of the recording, the area code of the international center will be given. The sender used to call a particuar country can vary depending on the area of the country from which the call is originated. An international call can sometimes be completed through the wrong sender, but this causes a print out that will later be investigated to find out which CO it came from. To find the correct routing when pulsing through any particulat toll office use KP+paired CC+000+ST. For example, KP-011044000-ST would give the same result as dialing normaly 011-44-00011 if you were dialing it in the area where the toll office is located. The first digit of a country code is the world region in which that country is located. The world regions are: 1--North America, 2--Africa, 3 and 4--Europe, 5--South and Central America, 6--South Pacific, 7--Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), 8--Far East, 9--Middle East and South-East Asia. Note 1. KP2 is not used in first or second stage outpulsing when calling any country in the IDDD network. Note 2. Public telephones are interfaced to TSPS (Traffic Service Position System). If you call an 800 number and whistle off using 2600 Hz, the distant toll office sends a wink back signal (a short on-hook) indicating it is ready to receive pulsing. TSPS responds to this wink back by printing out the original number called, the number called from, and the number MFed after the wink back. This print out goes to the billing and security departments. PAIRED COUNTRY CODES This is a list of paired country codes for use in first stage outpulsing on overseas calls. For two digit country codes simply add a zero. Example: The country code for England is 44. The paired country code is 044. Paired country codes that cannot be derived by this simple method are listed below. Country Country Code Paired Code ------- ------------ ----------- Algeria 213 013 American Samoa 684 284 Bahrain 973 073 Belize 501 111 Bolivia 591 991 Cameroon 237 077 Costa Rica 506 806 Cyprus 357 087 Ecuador 593 293 El Salvador 503 003 Ethiopia 251 059 Fiji 679 879 Finland 358 088 French Antilles 596 896 French Polynesia (Tahiti) 689 289 Gabon 241 025 Guam 671 067 Guatemala 502 022 Guyana 592 892 Haiti 509 887 Honduras 504 884 Hong Kong 852 692 Iceland 354 854 Iraq 964 294 Ireland 353 083 Israel 972 072 Ivory Coast 225 285 Jordan 962 282 Kenya 254 074 Kuwait 965 015 Liberia 231 851 Libya 218 018 Luxembourg 352 292 Malawi 265 096 Marisat Atlantic 871 101 Marisat Pacific 872 102 Marisat Indian Ocean 873 103 Morocco 212 012 Namibia 264 194 Netherlands Antilles 599 099 New Caledonia 687 287 Nicaragua 505 975 Nigeria 234 014 Oman 968 068 Panama 507 247 Papua New Quinea 675 875 Paraquay 595 295 Portugal 351 281 Qatar 974 174 Saipan 670 071 Saudi Arabia 966 990 Senegal 221 021 Suriname 597 097 Taiwan 886 006 Tunisia 216 016 United Arab Emirates 971 291 Uruguay 598 288 USSR 7 007 Yemen Arab Republic 967 297 Notes: The Marisat codes are used when calling ships directly. Single stage outpulsing is used for calls to Mexico in this format: KP-180-City Code-digits-ST. To call an inward operator in Mexico use KP-190-City Code-09-ST. For directory assistance use KP-190-City Code-01-ST. Call The Works BBS - 1600+ Textfiles! - [914]/238-8195 - 300/1200 - Always Open
