Hi everyone, my name is Russ Handler and did you know that dialing an international number out of the United States actually means you need four separate numbers that you need to keep in mind. That's correct. Let's say you want to dial Hong Kong. Well pretty simple, here what it looks like; 011 is the code to get you out of our country, 852 is Hong Kong's geographical code, so that will get you into Hong Kong, then they have a city or area code and then a number. Yeah, pretty dramatic amount of numbers too. So, dialing Hong Kong, 011 gets you out of our country, 852 gets you into Hong Kong. Let's say then you want to dial Hangchow, that is the area code or the city code which would be 5 and then of course the number, let's say, 55521364. Lots of numbers to know and lots that you should know about calling Hong Kong. Now one more final note, they do have a fabulous infrastructure of telecommunication satellites, submarine cabling and their cellphone network is amongst the best in the world.
