| NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) today announced that it would add the People’s Republic of China (China) to its International Free Dial service area as of January 11, 2000. This service enables callers abroad to dial certain predesignated telephone numbers in Japan, with the applicable charges to be billed to the receiver in Japan. This International Free Dial service had initially been applied to the United States and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). With this expansion of the service, callers using the Universal Free Number service will be able to dial the same number from the United States, South Korea, and China. However, the access code (first 2 or 3 digits) might differ according to the caller’s country. NTT Com is planning to expand the International Free Dial service to other countries in response to customer demand. Free Dial Numbers (1) From China (See Figure 1)
 Charges The communication charge for the international Free Dial service equals the cost of an international phone call from Japan. The charge will be billed to the receiver in Japan, and the amount charged will depend on the time of day that the call was received in Japan. The time/rate categories are: daytime, evening, and late night/weekends and holidays. NTT Com’s Corporate Discount service is also applied to communication charges for this service. A 3,000 yen registration fee will be charged for the first service area. A fee of 1,000 yen will be charged for each additional service area. One Universal Free Number will cost 18,000 yen.
