The 44 is usually removed by the originating country.

And then the originating country support service gets the question from
clients "I dial +44 01296 xxxxx and I get wrong number - what is going
on? The number is correct". Yes, I was the support person at the inside
second level, those that the talking staff ask the questions from. I saw
that question more than once. Of course, with the usual countries you
learn, but then comes a strange new country and you have to ask further
up or far...
