Why a call to Ecuador fails
The 0 is still in the number
The 0 at the start of an Ecuadorian number is for calls inside Ecuador. From abroad, leave it out: +593 takes its place.
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Ecuador, Europe, and most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The number does not take calls from abroad
Toll-free numbers that start with 1800 or 1700 often cannot be reached from outside Ecuador.
