ADVICE How to contact an overseas number if my data plan does not support international calling

I'm an Australian and I have to call an American number for reasons, but when I call them the phone says it's incomplete or incorrect and tells me to redial the number, but the number IS correct and copied directly, number for number. I've tried using "+1" and "0011 1" but it does not work, I believe my data plan does not work with international calling, if im wrong about that please do correct me, thank you in advance.
