Telephone country codes never begin with zero. 00 is a commonly used international access prefix, but not part of the country code.

Assuming that 00 is your international access prefix, you're asking about country code +1, which is North America, including the USA, Canada, and various Caribbean-ish islands. You need the following three digits to narrow down the location.

On the other hand, if your international prefix is 001, then you're asking about country code +38, which is an incomplete country code somewhere in Europe. Again, you need one additional digit to be specific.

To avoid this sort of confusion, it is best to quote an international telephone number beginning with the plus sign and the country code, omitting any access prefix.

(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.)
