When you need to contact Dell, use the telephone numbers, codes, and electronic addresses provided in Tables 4-2 and 4-3. Table 4-2 provides the various codes required to make long-distance and international calls. Table 4-3 provides local tele- phone numbers, area codes, toll-free numbers, Web site and e-mail addresses, if applicable, for each department or service available in various countries around the world. If you are making a direct-dialed call to a location outside of your local tele- phone service area, determine which codes to use (if any) in Table 4-2 in addition to the local numbers provided in Table 4-3. For example, to place an international call from Paris, France to Bracknell, England, dial the international access code for France followed by the country code for the U.K., the city code for Bracknell, and then the local number as shown in the following illustration.
00
International
Access Code
(in France)
1344
City Code (Bracknell)
To place a long-distance call within your own country, use area codes instead of inter- national access codes, country codes, and city codes. For example, to call Paris, France from Montpellier, France, dial the area code plus the local number as shown in the following illustration.
01
Area Code
(for Paris from outside Paris)
The codes required depend on where you are calling from as well as the destination of your call; in addition, each country has a different dialing protocol. If you need assis- tance in determining which codes to use, contact a local or an international operator.
NOTE: Toll-free numbers are for use only within the country for which they are listed. Area codes are most often used to call long distance within your own country (not internationally)—in other words, when your call originates in the same country you are calling.
