Dialing Outside North America (Exit Code: 011 + Country Code) To dial outside of the North America Numbering Plan, you have to dial an exit code first (011) and then the country code, and then the number. Although figuring out what the real number is can be tricky because of something called "trunk codes."

Officially, all calls to US numbers begin with a ?+1? because that is the region code for North America and the Caribbean (technically, the North American Numbering Plan or NANP). That's why your phone displays a ?1? before the number; it really is part of the number.

Make calls and send texts To a country outside of the U.S.: Press + or 011 on your phone's keypad, then the country code and local number. To the U.S. from another country: Press +1, then the area code and local number.

What Does +1 in Front of a Phone Number Mean? Dialing +1 enables callers throughout the world to place a call within the North American Numbering Plan. As mentioned, the + sign is simply a replacement for the exit code.

For example, if a contact in the United States (country code "1") has the area code "408" and phone number "-X", you'd enter +1 408 X. Note: Make sure to remove any leading 0s or special calling codes. Phone numbers in Mexico (country code "52") need to have "1" after "+52", even if they're Nextel numbers.

Know the complete US phone number format with country code The order of the number will be the country exit code ->+1 (US country code) -> area code -> 7-digit local phone number.

You can use the ?+? symbol in place of ?011? if dialing from a cell phone. The ?+? sign is usually the same key as ?0? on a smartphone's keypad. Some countries share a country code. For example, Canada, the United States, some places in the Caribbean, and Guam share ?1? as a country code.
