Dial your exit code
From the United States and Canada that is 011. From most of Europe, Asia, and Africa it is 00. On any mobile you can simply press and hold 0 to get a + instead, which works from anywhere. - 2
Dial 212
212 is the country calling code for Morocco. It never changes and it is the same from every country in the world. - 3
Drop the leading 0
Numbers written for domestic use in Morocco start with a 0. That is a national trunk prefix, not part of the number; remove it when dialling from abroad. 522 12 34 56 is what you dial after +212. - 4
