international telephone dialing code

An international telephone dialing code is a prefix added before a phone number when calling someone in another country. It functions like a country’s specific shortcut or identifier, ensuring your call is routed correctly across borders. For example, the code +1 is used for the United States, while +44 is for the United Kingdom. To call someone abroad, you typically dial your country's exit code, then the international code, followed by the local number. These codes help telephone networks distinguish between countries and connect calls accurately and efficiently across the global telephone system.
