The exit code, also known as an international access code, signifies to your carrier that you’re making a call outside networks based within the United States so your call can be routed appropriately.Īlternatively, if you’re on a smartphone or using OpenPhone, you can simply key in the plus (+) symbol to replace the exit code, and your call will be routed just fine.
