I'm out of the country vs I'm out in the country

Both phrases are correct, but they have different meanings and contexts. "I'm out of the country" means that the person is not in their home country or is traveling abroad. "I'm out in the country" means that the person is in a rural area. The choice depends on whether the person is referring to being outside their home country or being in a rural setting.
