Passengers can dial international or domestic long-distance calls in their hotel rooms, and the expenses are included in the hotel bill. You may also make phone calls in post offices and public phone booths, where you are asked to pay right after you have finished your call. When you make a domestic long-distance call, remember to dial the area zip code before dialing the number you want. When making an international call, you should dial 00, the country code and the area zip code before dialing the number of the person you want to talk to ( if the area code of a given country begins with 0, delete it when you make the call). International and domestic long-distance calls and local calls can also be made in telephone booths using magnetic cards or IC cards.
