I have never tried to dial international phone calls directly with my Chinese phone. For international calls, I usually use Skype.
There are some phones that will not accept Skype in the United States, e.g. United Airlines. I have bought a 100 RMB international phone card and used it with my Chinese mobile phone to call the United States. You call the international phone card phone number on your mobile phone, type in all the codes, then type in the international phone number. It's a pain typing in all the numbers though, but it ends up being something like 4 RMB per minute.
Good luck.
