To call abroad, dial your international access prefix, then the country code, city code, and subscriber number.
The international access prefix depends on where you are calling from. For example, if you are in Western Europe, the prefix is 00, which is the most commonly used prefix around the world. However, in the USA and Canada, the prefix is 011. Australia uses 0011, Japan uses 010, and Russia uses 8~10. If you're using a GSM mobile phone, though, you don't have to worry about which prefix to use: just program the number with the plus sign and the country code.
The country code is a number between 1 and 999 that identifies a nation or an overseas territory. It is usually written with a plus sign, where the plus sign indicates "insert your international access prefix here." For example, France is +33, New Zealand is +64, Ghana is +233, Fiji is +679, and Russia and Kazakhstan are +7.
The city code is a domestic area code, but in most(but not all) countries where area codes begin with 0, you must drop the leading 0. For example, Amsterdam is 020 within the Netherlands, but becomes +31 20 internationally. However, Italy and a handful of African countries have numbers that keep the zero, like Rome's 06 area code which becomes +39 06. Also, a few countries do not have area codes or city codes, as such.
The subscriber number is the rest of the telephone number that you are trying to reach.

Area codes were introduced in the US and Canada in 1947, although subscriber dialing with area codes was phased in gradually over many years. Area codes were introduced in the UK in 1958. In order to facilitate direct dialing calls, the NANP was created and instituted in 1947 by AT&T, also known as the Bell System, the U.S. telephone semi-monopoly. At first, the codes were used only by long-distance operators; the first customer-dialed calls using area codes did not occur until November 10, 1951, when the first directly-dialed call was made from Englewood, New Jersey to Alameda, California. Direct dialing was gradually instituted throughout the country, and by the mid-1960s, it was commonplace in most larger cities.
