Quick answer: dial format
From India, a traditional phone starts with 00 (international exit), then 966 (country code), then the rest of the number.
Use the full number after the country code. If the national number starts with a trunk 0, confirm whether that 0 stays in the international form before you dial. This page does not give one digit count for every number.
In Ringvoo, enter +966 and the same national digits. Do not add 00 in front of the plus.
