ell Contact Numbers
When you need to contact Dell, use the telephone num-
bers and codes provided in Tables 5-2 and 5-3. Table 5-2
provides the various codes required to make long-
distance and international calls. Table 5-3 provides local
telephone numbers, area codes, and toll-free numbers, 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 5-2 in addition to the local numbers provided in
Table 5-3. For example, to place an international call
from Paris, France to Bracknell, England, dial the inter-
national 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.
To place a long-distance call within your own country,
use area codes instead of international 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.
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.
