How do I dial an international number correctly?

First, dial your exit code. Most countries use 00. The US and Canada use 011. Next, dial the country code. Then dial the area code, dropping any leading 0. Last, dial the local number. For example, calling the UK from the US looks like this: 011 + 44 + 20 + local number. On a cell phone, you can often use a plus sign instead of the exit code, like +44 20 XXXX XXXX.

Which country uses the +1 country code?

The +1 code covers the US and Canada. It also covers many Caribbean islands, including Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and the Bahamas. These places all share one numbering system. Seeing +1 alone does not tell you the country. You need the 3-digit area code after it. That code shows exactly where the call is coming from.

Why do some countries share the same country code?

Countries share codes for a few reasons. History, politics, and location all play a part. North America shares one code, +1, to cover the US, Canada, and nearby islands. Russia and Kazakhstan share the code +7. Some small islands use the same code as a larger nearby nation. Sharing a code makes calls easier to connect. But it also means local numbers have to be longer, so each place can still be told apart.
