About the North American Numbering Plan:
The NANP is a unified telephone numbering plan used by the United States and its territories, Canada and some Carribean nations. All telephone numbers within the NANP have the same dialing format (3 digit area code + 7 digit telephone number).
Dialing between 2 NANP countries:
Technically, calling from a country using the North American Numbering Plan to another is just like placing a US state to state call (1 + xxx + xxx xxxx). In other words there is no need to dial the 011 exit code required for all other overseas calls. However, as far as calling rates are concerned - you will incur international charges when dialing out of your country regardless of whether that particular country uses the NANP or not.
