FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

NTT Communications to Add South Korea to
International Members' Net Service Area

 

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) today announced that it will add South Korea to its International Members’ Net Service area.

International Members’ Net allows customers to add their overseas offices and business partners’ telephone numbers to their extension network using normal international telephone lines. Customers do not need special equipment. The only requirement is that the extension numbers, which are chosen by customers, must be registered with NTT Com and entered in its database.

Customers using both International Members’ Net and Domestic Members’ Net can call overseas by dialing an extension number, just as if they were dialing fellow Members’ Net users.

Hong Kong and the Philippines are scheduled to be added to the International Members’ Net service area within this year.


How to Use

Dialing abroad using International Members’ Net (when user is also using Members’ Net):


(1) On Net call*1
Call the extension number, which can be selected by the user (2 to 11 digits*2)

(2) Off Net call*3
0+ 0034+ 5+ country code (“82” in case of South Korea)+ local area code + telephone number

Charges
