Some cell phone numbers don‘t use area codes
Most area codes don‘t need to be added to any international cell phone number you‘re dialing. There‘s already a dedicated starting numbers/digits for most nations‘ phone numbers.
Trunk Codes
Drop that first number when dialing any number that begins with a “0” because that number represents the larger cell phone number‘s “trunk code” which is only to be used during calls within a few certain countries.
Avoid the VoIP
Many Internet cell phone, or VoIP providers will let you pass over the dialing of 011 before international calling, but if this feature is on be sure to not dial 011.
