I remember having to do this a few years ago in Zimbabwe to get to an
international trunk to dial the states.  A prefix was dialed, and you
had to wait for a second dial tone before dialing the country code+.
It was in a small town, and if memory serves correct, this wasn't
required in Harare, one of the largest cities.
