Making Calls (International):

Dial 001, 0061 or 0041 to make an international call, and then dial the country code...

Public Telephones - There are public telephones near the campus and accommodations. The telephone card vending machine in the lobby of Yamasa II sells the special 0061 card to enable international calls.
Village Phones - All telephones in the Student Village can make and receive international calls - dial 0061. Please note that because your room telephone is an internal line - you can't use callback services.
Cellphones - Cellphones can be used for international calls but usually require registration and are expensive. Most students use the internet instead.

Making Calls (Domestic):

Dial the city code, and then the local number.

Public Telephones - Telephone cards are easily obtained from vending machines and convenience stores.
Village Phones - Each room and the lounges have telephones connecting to the village internal network. Outside calls can be made from any telephone. You will be provided with a rechargeable smart card if you live at the Student Village.

Receiving Calls:

Public Telephones - You cannot receive calls via public telephones.
Village Phones - Callers to the village will hear a recorded message asking them to dial your internal room number. They don't have to wait until the end of the message.
Cellular Phones - It can be difficult to receive calls if you are underground or where the signal is weak. Most urban subways have relays so the phones will work underground on trains and station platforms.
