so I got a phone number to call for a medical thing, 1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX
and every time I dialed the full number I got a "busy" signal
then I tried dialing the phone number *without* the 1 at the start, and suddenly I got through to the thing I actually wanted to call
what gives? 🤔
((I have an android smartphone that's from 2016))

@blausky 1 is the country code, so if you’re in the US it’s implied already
