TELEPHONE
Outside U.S.
If you are dialing from outside the United States, dial the international access code from the country you are calling from, then the U.S. code 1, then the full phone number, including the area code and the local number.
 
From The U.S.
To dial abroad from the United States to other countries, dial 011 followed by the country code, local area code and phone number. In most cases any local area code that has a zero as the first number is omitted. For example, to call a number in Germany, dial as follows:
011 [International Access Code] 49 [Country Code] (0) 69 [Local Area Code] 5272 5200 [Phone Number].
 
The "(0)" is used only when a call is made from within the country. For international calls it is dropped. There are a few exceptions to this rule. See below for a quick list of country codes or access the International Dial Codes website at http://www.countrycallingcodes.com/.
