Our manager of international sales asked me a question yesterday to which I did not know the answer, and I hope y'all can help. Is there a directory, paper or online or whatever, that lists ALL city codes in ALL countries? Sure, the local phone directory here lists major city codes in several countries. But to find other city codes, it means going through an international operator to get a directory assistance operator in the other country, just to get the city code -- and sometimes that takes quite a while, if all the operators are busy. It would be so much easier to just have a book, or database, or online service we could access to look up the codes. Any ideas?

This is publication number 1-WB-952, and is available free of charge from AT&T's International Rate and Dialing Information Service: 1-800-874-4000. While it does not list *every* locality, it lists every country and all major areas within each country. Included is a table to calculate the time in each country, information on USA Direct and a lot of other useful information about making international calls to and from the USA. It is an 88 page book loaded with information. You can get a similarly-detailed book listing US/Canada area codes from the AT&T Information Center in Indianapolis, IN. The domestic version costs about two dollars, but the international guide is free. If they've got their act together the day you call, they'll send you a copy. Please note no smiley. The reason why no smiley discussed soon. PAT]
