Why a call to Chad fails
The exit code is wrong for your country
Most countries dial out with 00, but the US and Canada use 011 instead. Dial your own exit code, then +235, to reach a Chad number.
The 00 was saved instead of the +
Some phones will not dial a contact saved as 00235. Save a Chad number as +235 instead, so it dials correctly from any country.
