subject: Dialing Area/Country Codes

G'day Sunny, 
SL>Hi everyone,

SL>Just a brief question. I notice that Win95 gives you an option, when
SL>dialing a number (e.g. in dial-up networking, Hyperterminal, Qmodem Pro
SL>for Win95), to "use country code and area code to dial".

SL>I know that dialing the area code together with the number itself e.g.
SL>02 878 5200 still costs the same as a local call. But would 612 878 520
SL>(or is it 6102 878 5200) be charged as an international call because of
SL>the added country code?

Nope, it's still the same.
and it would be 612...

SL>I have also heard that using the area code (together with the BBS's
SL>number) to dial gives you clearer lines. Is this true or BS?

dunno, haven't heard that one before.


Cya Round,	

		Craig.
