[comp.dcom.telecom] USA Direct From the Netherlands

johnl@esegue.segue.boston.ma.us (John R. Levine) (08/25/90)

WRT the note that you can't call anywhere collect from the
Netherlands, AT&T's International Information people say that you can
indeed call collect from the Netherlands via USA Direct.  Does the
Dutch PTT know about that?

You can call collect to other countries (but not all) even through the
Dutch operator. At least that is what my telephone directory says. The
directory says that the extra costs are Dfl 5.00 for a collect call,
as well as for person-to-person and credit card calls.
