You can use your Business Tele-card (电话卡) International at any card phone in theUnited Kingdom. Here is some information about making international phonecalls.

You can now phone almost any country inthe world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you can’tmake direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you.This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you wantto speak to a particular person and no one else in this case you should ask fora “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a reverse (反向的) charge call where the person whoreceives the call pays.

If the international line is busy, youcan reserve (回机) a call, explain the numberyou want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.

You can save money by calling outsideoffice hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays.

Remember that the time may be differentin the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT(GreenwichMean Time).London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead.

There is one problem: change toDST(Daylight Saving Time)for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward onehour in the spring and put back in the autumn, and so London is one hour aheadof GMT in the summer.
