International direct dialing means that you dial the entire number yourself, rather than calling an operator and asking her or him to dial it for you.

The U.S. shares country code +1 with Canada, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, CNMI (Saipan and Tinian), Bermuda, Bahamas, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Montserrat, British Virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos Islands, and the Dutch half of Sint Maarten. Those locations are dialed "one-plus" just like domestic calls.

For other international calls, dial:

011 = international prefix from the U.S. and Canada

country code (e.g., +44 for the UK)

city code (in most cases, drop the leading '0')

local number

# (the # key on your touch-tone phone tells the phone switch that you've finished dialing, so it doesn't wait to see if there are any more digits coming)
