Operator: Operator. May I help you?
Customer: Yes. I’d like to call my friend in his room and what shall I do?
O: Do you know the room number, sir?
C: Yes, it is 1201.
O: For 4-digit rooms in the Main Building, please dial 10 and then the room number.
C: By the way, how can I make an overseas call ?
O: You may call direct from your room and it’s cheaper.
C: Oh, I didn’t know that.
O: The country codes are listed in the Services Directory in your room. Please dial 300 before the country code and then dial the area code and number. Please don’t dial 9 before the entire number as you would for an outside call.
C: I see. 300 and then country code, area code and number. Could you tell me the rates for call to the United States?
O: Certainly, sir. A three-minute person-to-person call is 7 dollars on weekdays and 6 dollars on the weekends.
