I have noticed in some call guides a note about calling the (business?) office for foreign city codes. As a V&H tape printout I have has a slew of Mexican place names I have trouble deciphering from their abbreviations (I have no "zipcode" directory comparable to that of U.S.), I am interested in finding the Mexican stuff. How much detail is available? On the V&H tape, where you would normally find the areacode-prefix combo (such as 301555 for Maryland directory assistance), you find 52zzzz where 52 is the country code for Mexico. Other sources show city code 161 for Ciudad Juarez (also called just Juarez, and appearing in a separate section of El Paso, Texas directory). So on the V&H tape you find 52161x, where x is 2,3,4,6, or 7. (That section of El Paso directory shows x-yyyy for Juarez phone numbers; x is defined above.)
