Plus-one dialing
Plus-one dialing is a telecommunications feature that allows users to dial the international dialing code „+“ followed by the country code and phone number, instead of the traditional format of dialing an exit code, country code, and phone number. This feature simplifies the process of making international calls and is commonly used in mobile phones and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
For example, if you wanted to dial a phone number in the United States with the traditional format, you would dial „011“ (the exit code for international calls), followed by „1“ (the country code for the United States), and then the phone number. With plus-one dialing, you can simply dial „+1“ followed by the phone number.
Plus-one dialing is especially useful for frequent international callers or for individuals who travel frequently and need to make calls to different countries. It eliminates the need to remember specific exit codes for each country and streamlines the dialing process.
Overall, plus-one dialing has made international calling more convenient and user-friendly, allowing individuals to easily connect with friends, family, and business contacts around the world.
