Why a call to Bhutan fails
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Bhutan, India, and most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The + or 00 is missing
Dialling 975 and the number without a + or 00 first sends the call inside your own country, not to Bhutan. Add +975 or 00 975 before the number.
