For me, that method worked everywhere I have travelled since signing up for Verizon's TravelPass except for Mexico. There, I had to dial local numbers just like locals do, otherwise I got a recording which I didn't understand.

I discovered that by trial an error after many failed attempts and long conversations with Verizon's Global Support who insisted that I have to dial +, country code, area/city code and the local number, despite that method not working. I had no issue whatsoever calling US numbers, though.
