All major switching nodes of the national telecom company BELGACOM are digital and a very fast increasing number of sub-nodes are converted to digital connections. BRA (Basic Rate Access) can be connected in less than a week in over 75% of the country. PRA may take longer depending on geographical location. Caller ID is available on ISDN in Belgium (using EURO-ISDN = ISDN fase 2 in Belgium) but only between ISDN devices although it may be hidden by the caller.

North America: North American ISDN Users Forum (NIUF): see item above United States: I suggest that you call the local telephone service center office and ask for the name and number of the Marketing Product Manager for ISDN services. If the service rep cannot make heads or tails of your question, ask to speak to the local service center manager for complex business services. This person should be able to direct you to the right place. For the Bell companies, this position is normally part of the telephone company's core marketing staff at their headquarters location.
