Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +1809 instead of 011 1809.
Verify the number length: Make sure you have the correct number of digits. If your call does not connect, check whether you need to add or remove an area code digit.
Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +1809 prefix so they work from any country.
