The problem is that country codes isn't standardized. The + (plus) denotes that you need to enter your country code, ex to call your number I would dial 27441234567890 (27 being South Africa). Albeit in generally country codes are 4 characters long with leading zeroes, leading zeroes of local numbers are also chopped off. The following format pretty much represents the majority of the numbers out there (+:calling country code)(country code)(region code)(area code)(local number), afaik there are some countries without country codes too.
- DanBC 15y ago+ means you need to dial a code (an 'exit code') to call an international number. In the UK this is 00. The UK country code is 44. To call the UK from the US you'd dial 011 for the exit code, then 44 for the UK country code. The country code for the US, and for Canada, is 1.
