How to read a India phone number
A India number is +91 followed by 10 digits. Knowing which of those digits mark a mobile is what tells you what the call will cost before you place it.
Inside India, numbers are dialled with a leading 0. Drop it when calling from abroad — keeping it is the single most common reason an international call fails.
Mobile prefixes
Landline prefixes
Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived.

Other Asian destinations, cheapest first
Rates vary by more than a factor of ten inside a single region, because each one is set by what the operator at the far end charges to accept the call. Taiwan is currently the cheapest place we publish a rate for near India.

All toolsFrequently asked questions
What is the country code for India?
The country code for India is +91. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile).
What are the area codes for India?
India has 14 city area codes listed on this page, including Mumbai 22, Delhi 11, Bangalore 80. Dial the country code first, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number. The table above gives the full dial string for every city.
What does a India phone number look like?
A India number is written as +91 11 2345 6789: the country code +91 followed by 10 digits. That total is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number with one digit missing is a typo rather than a shorter valid number.
How can I tell if a India number is a mobile?
By its leading digits. In India, a national number of 10 digits beginning with 7, 8, 9 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them.
Do I need to drop the leading 0 when calling India?
Yes. India uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls. When dialing internationally, drop the leading 0 from the local number.
How much does it cost to call India?
Telvio charges $0.24/min to India landlines and $0.24/min to mobiles. Billing is per second with no connection fees, so you pay only for the seconds you talk.
