Australian capital city phone books have extensive information on
International Subscriber Dialing. There are several pages of
country codes and selected within country area codes, as well as
instructions for dialing such numbers. There is also a
description of the format for numbers on business cards etc.

The suggested business card format is

	+61 area-code local-number

where Australia's country code is 61. My number would be

	+61 2 692 3423

To dial an intermational number I enter:

	0011 country-code area-code local-number
The 0011 part is called the International Access Code.
So, to dial a number in Akron (OH) my phone book says I should
dial:
	0011 1 216 xxxyyyy      where xxxyyyy is the local number.

Bob.
