Why would you imagine that people in non-US countries would list their
phone numbers on their websites in US International dialing format?
Especially when more countries use '00' for their outbound
international prefix than use '011'.

As has already been mentioned recently, at least one country (Germany)
has no hard limit on the length of a number - extra digits after the
base number are delivered to the CPE for internal routing - kind-of
self-administered DDI ranges.
