ITU-T E.126: Harmonization of the General Information Pages of the Telephone Directories Published by Administrations

General

It is recognized that users should normally have recourse to the General Information pages of telephone directories when looking for the information they need to obtain the required telephone services and to apply the operating procedures correctly.

In addition, appropriate information in the General Information pages of telephone directories may promote the development of national and international telephone traffic and the utilization of services by the national users.

Obviously foreign visitors too need to consult the General Information pages of the telephone directories of each country they visit and a similar presentation of the information in the various countries will make their research easier.

Administrations should therefore see that the composition of the General Information pages of telephone directories is harmonized along the lines indicated below, with a view to making available to all users of the telephone service a uniform source of information which is satisfactory and easy to consult.
