Why a call to Djibouti fails
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Djibouti and from most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The + sign is missing
A Djibouti number needs +253 or your exit code first. Without it, your phone dials the 8 digits as a local number and the call fails.
