In China, telephoning is relatively easy if you adhere to certain procedures. The best way to place a phone call is to go to the local post office. At most places it is possible to dial directly, in other places you have to ask the operator. In many cities there are now public phone booths where you can make calls with a phonecard. Domestic or international long-distance telephone calls can be dialed directly in a hotel room, and the account is settled when the guest checks out.
