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.

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.

To call a phone in another country, dial 011, and then the code for the country you are calling, the area or city code, and the phone number. For example, if you are trying to call someone in Brazil (country code 55), in the city of Rio de Janeiro (city code 21), you would dial 011 - 55 - 21 - X-X.

For fixed line and mobile phone numbers, a dash is written in between the area/mobile code and the subscriber number, with an optional space before the last four digits of the subscriber number.

How the number is composed. 011 is the international prefix used to dial somewhere outside of USA. 91 is the international code used to dial to India. 11 is the local area or city code used to dial to New Delhi.

First dial 011, the U.S. exit code. Next dial 91, the country code for India. Then dial the area code (2-4 digits -- please see a sample calling code list below) and finally the phone number (area code plus phone number equals 10 digits).

The standard American telephone number is ten digits, such as (555) 555-1234. The first three digits are the "area code," which, in the past, indicated in what part of the country the phone was located.
