IAESTE Resources

Here are some resources to help you out when planning to venture into an international setting.

Have the number of a colleague in India, but are unsure of the area code? The Quick Reference Phone Book at CountryCallingCodes.com keeps track of every country and area code in the world. This free online tool also allows you to make fast country-to-country searches: if you need to call Islamabad, Pakistan from Paris, it can tell you the exact numbers to dial (00+92+51+ the number). The country-to-country searches also provide the current local time, so users will know whether it is the right time to call, or if they will be interrupting dinner.
