Skipping the exit code
Reaching Côte d'Ivoire from the US requires the 011 exit code ahead of +225 — skip it and the call won't connect.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Côte d'Ivoire number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +225 country code when calling from abroad.
