Yeah.. No... The 1 we dial (while inside NA) indicates NA. If calling from Europe to NA, it's 001-XXX-XXX-XXXX.
To call Europe from NA, we dial 011-XX-XXX-XX-XX-XXX (Ducay is right about how they break up their numbers differently).
But while in Europe, to call another phone in Europe, it's +XX-XXX-XX-XX-XXX. The plus can be replaced by two zeros.
If the number you're calling is in the same country, it can be anywhere from 6 to 10 digits.
I suppose it's just because growing up in Canada changes the way I look at geographic areas.
The way phoning is in Europe is like if you had to dial an extra 3 or 4 digits to call from Washington to Idaho, or Alberta to BC, or Alberta to Washington.
