Yes, they do. The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.

Using the plus symbol reduces confusion for international telephone numbers. If you quote an international number including the international access prefix, it will be very confusing to someone in a country or region that uses a different prefix.
