How To Make A Collect Phone Call

Why do you need to know how to make a collect phone call? Other than it’s a good idea to know how to do things, knowing how to collect phone call can save you a lot of grief and frustration when you are in a foreign country. Especially if you don’t speak the local language.

If you are traveling in a country that uses an automated operator system, you may not be able to complete a collect call without the assistance of an AT&T operator.

Calling Tips:
1. Dial the AT&T access number provided
2. An English-language voice prompt will ask you for the telephone number you are calling
3. Press zero or stay on the line and an AT&T Operator will assist you. Ask them to connect you collect to the appropriate number

And, Do This:
I also suggest you print calling information for all countries on your itinerary prior to your departure. It’s a fair guess that you won’t easily find a comprehensive calling guide in your native language everywhere you will be.
