Area or Mobile Code
Strip the leading zero off the local number. So 0803 123 4567 turns into +234 803 123 4567. For a Lagos landline, dial +234 1 and then the 7-digit number. Note: you do not need any carrier codes when calling from the USA
Dialing Examples
For an international call you only need the country code plus the local number, with the leading zero removed.

Locally, most Nigerian mobile numbers begin with 0 and run 11 digits including that 0. For an international call, take off the 0 and put +234 in front.
Drop the Zero
A local mobile such as 0803 123 4567 becomes +234 803 123 4567 when you dial from Houston or anywhere else in the US.
Landlines vs Mobiles
Landlines have shorter local numbers and an area code, for instance 1 for Lagos or 9 for Abuja. Mobiles keep their prefix once you remove the leading zero.
