How to read an international code
Every country has a unique calling code, assigned by the International Telecommunication Union. On a mobile the code is written with a + in front, for example +49. From a landline you usually dial 00 instead of the +, so +49 becomes 0049.
The code is 1 to 3 digits long. After it comes the local number, often without its leading 0. So a German number written +49 30 and the rest means country code 49, then the Berlin number.
