Why a call to Kyrgyzstan fails
The 0 is still in the number
The 0 at the start of a Kyrgyzstan number is for calls made inside the country. From abroad, leave it out: +996 takes its place.
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Kyrgyzstan, Europe, and most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The number does not take calls from abroad
Numbers that start with 0800 often only work for callers already inside Kyrgyzstan.
