"011" is what you dial from within NANPA countries to prefix a country code, so to dial Coumbia, for example, you would dial 011 57 xxxxxxxx... >From other countries that would be different. From the UK, for example, the same call would be 00 57 xxxxxx... (if I recall correctly!). The "+" represents whatever your local country uses for international access, and only precedes the country code.
