CHANGE OF THE DIALING ORDER OF
INTERNATIONAL CALLS

- The Old Dialing Order ^*1 Will Be Terminated at 2:00 AM on May 1, 2003 -

MYLINE Carriers Association

With the launch of MYLINE services on May 1, 2001, the new dialing order has become available, which requires you to add the prefix 010 to all international calls. Please note that the old dialing order^*1 will be terminated at 2:00 AM on May 1, 2003.

From 2:00 AM on May 1, 2003 onward, only the new dialing order is available, which requires the addition of the prefix 010 to indicate that the call is international, as in 00XY (a telephone company's access code)^*2 + 010 + country code + phone number. Please refer to the Attachment 1 for details of the new dialing order and the time of the change. For any international calls made by the old dialing order, the caller will hear an announcement by the international telephone company he/she is using that he/she should redial by the correct dialing order.

At present, you can register with MYLINE and MYLINE PLUS in the international calling category from the 11 telephone companies listed in the Attachment 2.

*1 The old dialing order: 00XY (a telephone company's access code) + country code + phone number.
*2 You don't have to dial the telephone company's access code if you have registered with MYLINE or MYLINE PLUS in the international calling category.
