The 00 at the beginning is not part of the telephone code, it is a commonly used international access prefix. Country code +1 is North America (USA, Canada, etc.), and area code +1 203 is southwestern Connecticut, USA.

Alternatively, if your international access prefix is 001 instead of 00, then you're asking about country code +20 (Egypt), area code +20 3 (Alexandria).

To avoid this sort of confusion, it is best to always write international telephone numbers in proper international format, beginning with a single plus sign and the telephone country code, omitting any location-dependent dialing prefixes.

(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.)
