Within
India, Subscribers Trunk Dialing (STD) is
available for 1000 cities. City calls can be made
from any telephone booth by inserting a one-rupee
coin India has a direct dialing system which links
over 190 countries all over the world. The
Telephone booths for making local and
international calls are quite easily available in
every part of the country.
These Booths can be recognized easily. They are
yellow and black and have some kind of
identification on it like PCO (stands for local
calls, STD (stands for calls with in India) and
ISD (stands for international calls capability of
the booth). Making calls from these booths in
India or abroad is much cheaper than from the
hotel room of the tourists. There is always an
attendant for assistance since these booths
are not automatic. Its important to insist on a
print out of the call charges which is printed by
itself once the call is over and cradle is back on
the telephone. The call duration and call charges
are shown on a separate digital screen. If there
is power cut, which is not unusual, one has to
decide either to trust the telephone operator for
the told charges or wait till the next telephone
booth if calls are not that urgent.
