AM radio? Anyone who is listening to that probably doesn’t have a phone to call anyone about it, inside their Mad Max bunker.

Or they might not know what country code to use since some of that AM stuff gets broadcasted really far.

I remember doing international support as a youngling, and asking my co-worker what the calling code was for the US.
"+1"
'Haha, no, really, what is it?'
Checks internet
Makes the tea once everyone has finished laughing

TIL the 1 at the beginning of numbers designates that they are US based

But my company absolutely has a dedicated target audience we boast about to potential advertisers.
