I have tried

1+506+8524XXXX

506+8524XXXX

011+506+8524XXXX

001+506+8524XXXX

none of these work

 

advice?


Dial one of the following:

 

+5068524XXXX

005068524XXXX

 

The 011 code is used from landline or mobile phones in the USA, Canada, and other parts of the +1 country code to start dialing a number that is not in the +1 area, but doesn't work with Skype.  The plus sign or the double zero before the 506 country code is how you start dialing a phone number with Skype.  Even if you are in the same country you are trying to dial, all numbers are dialed in one of these two formats with Skype.
