00 + 1 for USA. You don't dial the +, obviously!

The + means 00.

You either dial + or you dial 00 and then the rest of the number but dropping any leading 0's.

If you store numbers in your phone using + all the time then they will dial correctly from anywhere as the 00 prefix is not the same in every country.

Very helpful! Thank you robinph!

I stupidly forgot to mention the country code bit there though:

+ <country code> <area/ network code without leading zero> <rest of number>

so an 087 123 456 number in ireland becomes +35387123456 and it can then be dialled from anywhere.

I understand

Thanks again.
