Frankly, off the top of my head I don't know what the US [different from most of the world] outbound international code is. BUT '+' should always work anywhere in the world. Thus: +1xxxyyyqqqq should work for you.

Well, here is the info:

001 definitely not right. US is 011. 0011xxxyyyqqqq would be the way to do it. '+' is easier and if you use it when you create your phones address book the number would work anywhere in the world. 011 would be what you use with a land line.
