No. Many countries normally quote domestic telephone area codes with the trunk prefix 0 included. For example, Liverpool, England, is in area code 151, but it is usually given as 0151. In the United States (and Canada and the various islands also included in North America's country code +1), the area code is the area code, always just three digits. Most long-distance calls are dialed with the trunk prefix '1' (coincidentally the same as the country code), but the alternate trunk prefix '0' can be used for customer-dialed operator-assisted calls.
For example, 1-715-555-0123 is an ordinary direct-dial call to a fictional number in Wisconsin. To call the same number with special billing (collect/reverse-charges, third-number, or calling card), or to call person-to-person, or with any other special operator services, you would dial 0-715-555-0123.
Note: Although you drop the trunk prefix '0' from the domestic number in most countries, there are some exceptions. For example, in Italy, you retain the zero on all landline area codes, so Rome's (06) becomes +39 06.
(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

The requirement to dial the area code on local calls (i.e., to dial 404-555-0173 instead of just 555-0173) was introduced in preparation for the overlay of area code 678 onto area codes 404 and 770 in the Atlanta metropolitan area in 1998.

In the US and Canada, area codes must have the first digit 2 through 9 and the second digit 0 through 8. Also, the second and third digits cannot be the same for a regular geographic area code. In the US, an area code never crosses a state line, with the sole exception of the tiny town of Hyder, Alaska, which uses area code 250 from the neighboring town in Canada. If you dial the prefix 1, then you must dial the area code; it is no longer possible to dial, for example, 1-555-0123 for a long-distance call in the same area code.
