011.... is how you call internationall from north america (at least most
of it).

Ie to call +45 12 34 56 78 you would dial 011 45 12 34 56 78.

Most of the EU (if not all of it) uses 112 as the emergency number,
while it used to be 999 or 000 in many places (both of which took
forever on rotary phones.  Gotta wonder who came up with those).  To
make things better, places like denmark had special services (like
current time and weather and such) as 00xx numbers.  Had to be careful
not to hit an extra 0 in there.
