Unnamed Administration sources reported that Ben Buxton said:
ISTR +1-888-xxxx being the international equivalent of 1-800-xxxx
False... The US presently uses 800, 888, 877 and more are coming. We long ago ran out of space in the 800 "ip block"...
That works from .au anyway, and probably anywhere else with international direct dialling.
SOME carriers, serving SOME countries, may haul SOME calls to the the US and pass it off to the carrier handling the ""800"" call. But there are the following variables: Originating country Originating carrier terminating carrier {each # is served by a carrier} contract with the customer {THEY pay for the domestic leg, at least...} etc.... The UNIVERSAL international 'freephone' number is of the form "call collect -- 1 202 123-4567 ".....as that's all that will work from anywhere with international calling [i.e. not from East Timor's UN compound this week..] -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
