Getting Help

5-7

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.
