Why a call to Bosnia fails
The 0 is still in the number
The 0 at the start of a Bosnian number is for calls inside the country. From abroad, leave it out: +387 takes its place.
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe, and most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The number does not take calls from abroad
Freephone numbers that start with 800, and calling card numbers that start with 8010, often cannot be reached from outside Bosnia and Herzegovina.
