AFAIK it is not just the phone, it is the network either doing the
translation or sending the phone the appropriate substitute string for the
"+" so it works correctly.

If you roam you are told to always use the full "+nnn" string to prefix
all your numbers so wherever you go, the call gets to the correct
destination***


*** At my work we have a Skype Dualphone and even if you program the
numbers in correctly, the dopey Skype software mucks up the dial string
when you elect to use the landline instead of Skype - this is a known
problem and no one on the 'net has come up with a solution in a few years
now.
