The KPN Telecom International Directory Enquiry Service
enables network providers to provide their subscribers with an international
number information service without having to set up and maintain
their own facilities. With this service KPN provides the Telco subscribers
with access to its own retail international number information service
'KPN Telecom Inlichtingen Buitenland' (0900-8418).
The KPN Telecom International Directory Enquiry Service is handled
by a KPN Directory Enquiry Operator, who will answer in Dutch. The
greeting is: "Goedemorgen/ goedemiddag/ goedeavond met KPN
Telecom Inlichtingen Buitenland" (as yet it is not possible
to customize this service).
A Telco PSTN Subscriber may request a search for up to 2 telephone
numbers per Call. When requesting the search from the KPN Directory
Enquiry Database, Telco PSTN Subscriber shall supply the KPN Directory
Enquiry Operator with the following details:
i) town/city, country and name; or

is unlisted, the Telco PSTN Subscriber will be told the number

by the Telco PSTN Subscriber, no information is available in the
KPN International Directory Database.
