1
Dial the international access code or +
On a mobile phone, press and hold 0 to get the + symbol. From a landline, dial your country's exit code (00 from most of Europe, 011 from the US/Canada, 0011 from Australia). With Kinvo, simply type + in the dialer.

4
Dial the remaining local number
Enter the area code (if applicable) and the subscriber number. The complete international number should look like this: +234 802 123 4567
