Effective 13 March 1987 the following five countries will become dialable by AT&T: Faeroe Islands 298 Greenland 299 Malta 356 Micronesia 691 Marshall Islands 692 The Faeroe Islands used to be dialable via Denmark using 45+42+, but Denmark stopped accepting calls this way after assignment of the 298 country code to the Faeroes, like Greenland a self-governing region of the Danish realm. (n.b., both are already dialable from Canada.) There is speculation that Tonga (676), supposed to have become dialable last year but delayed, may also go in at this time. Translations for the local central offices around the country to accept the country code were never rescinded. /john
