Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Country code +97, dialed as 00 97 from many places, is an incomplete code somewhere in Asia. For example, +971 is the United Arab Emirates and +977 is Nepal.

Country code +7, dialed as 009 7 from many places, is Russia and Kazakhstan.

To avoid confusion, it is best to write an international telephone number in correct international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (e.g., +971 or +7), omitting any dialing prefix.

(The plus signmeans "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.)
